Lady Bird...Heathrow--Miami...Part 1

[Triple_7]

Time to head back to the states after spending a couple weeks in Europe.  Decided to warm up a bit and head to sunny Miami aboard Virgin 5 heavy and enjoy the comfort and style of an Airbus LONG bird 8-)

9:40 AM...awaiting clearance for our 27L departure.  Its nice and cold with a few sprinkles beginning to fall.

Let off the brakes, full power to the engines, and slowly beginning our takeoff roll.

Thundering off with the rain starting to come down a little harder.  

Spotter braving the rain...making a very slow, heavy climb.  Turbulence started getting a little rough turning our wings into rubber

Several hours later and nearing the Florida coast.  Began a step decent from FL380 about 250 miles out.  ETA 2 PM.
