Flying van

Ultimate E series experience right now: I'm currently on board a Boeing Econoline 350000 model. This thing is great- about 10,000 cu.ft interior volume, seats 180 people, two engines that put a diesel/V10 to shame, and even has wifi internet for the low price of $8.

And cruising speed of 500mph!!!

(Creative writing assignment for the week: complete)

I don't fly often, but when I do I stare out the window and continuously marvel at the idea/fact that such a huge machine is capable of traveling through the air so effortlessly. It is truly magic. No one can understand how it works.

Off to Vegas for 5year wedding anniversary with my fantastic Wife!

Happy Anniversary!
That Econoline is misnamed (do NOT look at the receipt for fuel!). :-)

I bet the stewardesses (I mean flight attendants) look way better than most of us that you see in vans....

My son always wanted to be a pilot (loved the hotrod Air Force jets) and when he found out that most pilots fly passenger planes, said that it would be like driving a bus and boring. So now he's an engineer (not driving a train)...

On board again! Leaving Vegas and heading back to Florida. (One paradise to another)

It was a great trip! We stayed in the utmost lap of luxury as Prestige member at the Palazzo, enjoying fine dining, sightseeing, and topped it off with a 6 hour rental of a Lamborghini.

Praise God for a great life!!
