On My Way (Don't Know Where I'm Going) 36
Posted: Sun Aug 22, 2004 11:52 pmWell I got away at about 10:45, with Andre and MCAirjockey were about to see me off!
As I continued North along Indiana, I came across some heavy clouds...
They cleared out over Indianapolis and I saw the speedway again. However, I went into another cloud before I could get another shot...oh well ::)
This was closer to the Michigan/Indiana border. I was told to contact Ft Wayne approach (always nice to hear a familiar name). The wind was picking up, an effect of the lakes I'd hazard...
After I got there (I was too excited to snap away), I got off the runway (28L) and onto Taxiway B. At this point I was told to hold position, I used the zoom on my camera to see this Lear coming straight for me.
So I immediately turned around to taxiway B2, and the controller told me to continue (which I didn't until the Lear passed me). After that, I taxied out and was told to hold again! This time, it was a King Air coming towards me. What is it with these guys?! >:( >:(
Well, it was all over after a few minutes (and I should remember Ludo had to wait in line for some time). I am remided of a quote by the poet Emerson:
Keep your cool, it will all be one a hundred years hence.
Not a bad thought as I finish this marathon session of posting at my dad's machine (he has three computers in his house and only one of them is connected to the Internet. He also has no wireless access!!
Daaaad...get with the program!!!
It is now almost 1:00 and I am soooo going to bed :-/
