743 MPH!!!!!

During a recent flight from San Diego (SAN), to Newark (EWR), we were able to take advantage of the jetstream which gave us an incredible "tailwind".  Our groundspeed (the actual speed over the ground) was 645 KNOTS which equates to 742.78 miles per hour!  I  made an announcement to the passengers that this was probably the fastest many will go in their lives....................as it was the SECOND fastest I've ever flown in 35 years of flying.  Pretty cool!!!!!  BTW, looks like I can finally post photos again.  Sweet!  

FRUSTRATION

Well, I'm back to not being able to download photos......................   What good is a blog if I can't download anything.....................?????  Hope the hackers are happy...............

Well, it looks like my trusty iPad is the only way to load photos......so here's a shot of Maria and I several years ago that is on my iPad!!! What a cute couple, eh???

Well folks, I still can't upload any photos......................but I'm working on it........................thanks for  your patience..............

Hello everyone.  Sorry I haven't posted anything lately, but my blog has been hacked and I can't download any photos.  Apparently some low-life LOSER has nothing better to do in life other than ruin peoples enjoyment.  I sincerely hope "kharma" pays this person a visit and allows him the joy of never being able to touch a computer for the rest of their meaningless life. Meanwhile, I'll try to figure out how to get this up and running again in the next week or so.  Sorry...........................

SAN FRANCISCO DEPARTURE!

Departing from San Francisco (SFO) last week and took a photo of  probably the clearest day I've ever seen there!  Here's the shot......with the Golden Gate bridge in the center of the photo.  Yes, this was certainly a photo op deluxe!!!! Usually the low lying fog and clouds make this type of photo all but impossible. See, miracles DO happen!  Happy New Year everyone!
