As most of you already know, I am the proud little wife of the greatest pilot in the land! He is awesome at what he does, and a really good sport about trying to deal with the, uh, interesting "schedule" that goes along with his job. Shown in the picture above is Joe with a Learjet 40 that wanted its picture taken with its captain. Somehow Joe gets this "bird" to soar through the air and actually go in the exact direction that he tells it to, but don't ask me how. (I can't even pull into a parking spot straight half the time.) This lovely little jet holds 7 passengers (besides the pilots), can fly at an altitude of 51,000 feet, and goes about 530 mph. What a cool way to get from point A to point B! And to think, just a little over one lifetime ago people were using using horses as transportation! My great-grandmother (who died several years ago) actually remembered going west in a covered wagon when she was a little girl! We've come a long way, baby!
