That weather looks pretty nice for flying over the south...I went through a death ride flying from DC to Birmingham AL...

I know what you mean. In December when I went home to see the parentals, I left Pensacola with severe thunderstorms, and tornado warnings all around. We luckily got a window to leave... and we sure got out fast. Was unusually smooth at first, then over Louisiana it got pretty bumpy. Nothing serious though. Kinda fun actually!

I like the 3rd shot. Cool view!

You guys are lucky you don't mind it too much, I can't stand turbulence, but that's why I don't live in the south

I've only flown in turbulence once (I'm not very old :P), and that was when we flew away from Barcelona headed back home for Oslo. That was in the *cough*"mighty"*cough* -800 though.

Great pics, I love flying ;D My lucky mom's going to Barcelona again in a few days.. then it's going to be me, my dad and my sister are all alone - I'm going to go crazy ^.^

Has anyone noticed that yellow stick/pole in front of the marshaller? It's either an optical illusion or it's falling... whatever it is it's confusing my eyes :-[

It does look like it's falling  ;). Took me a minute to notice the wheels are just behind the guy's crossed hands.
