I remarked to my flying partner that we were lucky to be alive and to enjoy such a day. I have been flying for over 37 years now and have accumulated over 24,000 hrs, but it's days like yesterday that reawaken the 22 yr old in me who learned to fly because he had a dream. Last week I flew into La Guardia and ATC let me fly up the Hudson River at a lower than normal 2500 feet at 6pm at night. What an incredible city New York City is! The Yankees were playing and we flew over the stadium= wow- twice in one week I was reminded just how lucky I am! You are going to be working hard this week Maria, but I am sure you will find yourself at times feeling as if you too are the luckiest person to be alive at that moment. Enjoy and keep the wonderful accounts of your life coming!
