A Beautiful Easter Flight

Sure I can, like going to church with my friends and family to celebrate
the
resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Flying is great, but its not
everything.

Some see the face of the Lord in the clouds. Who is to criticize that?
Shall you be the one to throw the first stone? Judge not, and be not
judged.

Hmm, doesn't take a building to celebrate any holiday. I think I like
Jay's way of celebrating better. With FAMILY.

Heck, here I am in Mississippi, my wife in Ohio, the weather at best is
crap, I was suppose to fly up there and meet her up there for Easter, and
now this front has hung up in the Appalachians.

I figured no problem, get up there today, but the weather Gods had
something else to say.

Well, maybe tomorrow. It appears to be severe clear in the forecast,
though it will be a very short visit, as more thunderstorms are expected on
Thursday.

No matter what weather setbacks I may experience, it still is a privilege
to fly!

Hey Jay,

Didn't realize you were up in this area... I've been off
rec.aviation.piloting for awhile -- mainly just being my obnoxious self
over at rec.scuba, I guess... Although I still live in Houston, I'm
(more or less) in your area on business these days (contracting for
Rockwell Collins) in Cedar Rapids... Maybe I can stop by one weekend
and say "hi"...

They were originally wanting me up here for a project dealing with the
Apache's avionics package, but when Lockheed got the contract for the
Presidential helicopter, things got shuffled around and they ended up
bringing me up here for the Cabin Electronics System (CES)... I've heard it
referred to as the "Pimp My Jet" project...

Cool! We've talked about doing a "Rockwell-Collins Suite", both because
they are so close by to us and because of their amazing history of aviation
innovation. I'm sure we could snag a ton of memorabilia for the suite
without lifting a finger.

Still, somehow the name just hasn't caught on. We need to make it sound
more romantic, somehow...

I know I'm currently banned from the suggestion box, but...is there a GA
Suite in the works? Kind of a catch all? I think that would be cool :-)

BTW, how many rooms are left to upgrade?

Which Suite is the "wow" favorite these days?

That would be the suite with the aging partition walls, right?

I don't know about you guys, but I simply can't imagine a better way to
spend Easter Sunday. Can you?

A day of flying followed by BBQ and beer, or course... Oh, wife and kids at
home, of course...

Frankly, any time I'm able to spend a Sunday at home with my wife instead of
sitting in a TV truck attempting to please the NASCAR faithful, or sitting
in a hotel room entertaining just myself is cause to do a "happy dance."

Hoppy Easter to all...

Oh, and isn't "ascension" another word for "taking flight?"
