Seriously, I've flown 16K miles since I last sat in the left seat...Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11130510691724323456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19353992.post-54963028871030813852010-01-16T08:55:52.908-05:002010-01-16T08:55:52.908-05:00Thanks,

The size of the jet and the paint is what caught my eye.<br /><br />Glad you got some left seat time. The ceiling was low when we left. I rode along at 4500 then climbed to 6500 closer to the Bay.<br /><br />Wow, 5 in .08, that's takin' care of business!Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14637264267903131611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19353992.post-22985731449447985192010-01-16T08:37:15.135-05:002010-01-16T08:37:15.135-05:00Great write up, Gary.

That was extra cool that you got to share airspace with the AF2. <br /><br />I'm curious, were they using the "Air Force Two" callsign? I thought I'd heard/read once that they only used the designator if the VIP was on board. That would have been very memorable if you'd shared airspace with the VPOTUS, although I'd doubt he'd be riding along for T/Gs, and imagine a TFR bubble would have also beeen following the plane. :) <br /><br />I got up in the air yesterday as well. Hadn't flown in about 5 weeks and the ceilings up here were kinda low first thing yesterday am, so I just used the time to play in the pattern and work on some short field landings. Banged out 5 landings in 0.8, including a taxi back to have the mechanic investigate a bad mag. Fun stuff!Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00513267016187101546noreply@blogger.com
