One of the things I enjoy most about flying (big plane or small) is the view that you can’t have from terra firma. For example, yesterday I was aboard a commercial airliner, flying above the clouds as the sunset. Here’s what it looked like.
Dusk from 35,000 feet.
The floor of clouds was like a swell on the ocean. The sunset was a perfect gradient of all rainbow. Hard to beat that. Thanks to American Airlines for another safe, on time journey, as well as a pair of excellent landings. I’m always impressed at how well the professionals can handle those airplanes.

Airline Food (a nice meal!)
Enjoyed a very nice meal during a flight from MIA to PHL yesterday. What I liked most was the simplicity, which is a requirement (in my humble opinion) if your’e going to serve a meal from a closet, as most airline galleys are. This was courtesy of American Airlines, my preferred carrier.
Chicken wrap with couscous from American Airlines.
The chicken wrap was tasty with a mustard-type dressing that kept things moist. The couscous was rather interesting and very difficult for me to describe. Suffice it to say, it was a nice touch. Portions are small but are probably the size we should all eat instead of the grand feasts. I’d like to give a thumbs-up to American Airlines for this combination. It’s a big improvement over some of the other meals I’ve had.
