Once again, I was the junior member of the crew, so I drew the first break, as did Dan, the other pilot I am paired with this trip.

I highly recommend it for anyone involved in blogging or contemplating blogging (See link in right sidebar.). It got me thinking about what I can provide to you, the readers, that might be more beneficial than just a running commentary of my flights. In mulling over the challenge, it became obvious that the only things that will change from flight to flight, other than the occasional different destination, are the weather and the crew. You can only say so much about a cloud or how low the fog goes, but each individual is a totally new subject.
