Here’s a still frame from my documentary, FLYING FOR THE FLAG, that shows the flight leader as the formation makes a turn.
FLYING FOR THE FLAG is available on Amazon PRIME, and you’ll learn just how the team stays close together as they fly over major events. It was a thrill to make the film and fly with some of the best pilots in the world.
After many years of venerable service, the MD-80’s in the American Airlines fleet are being retired. I had a great flight aboard one recently and had the good fortune to make his short video:
The pilots were great guys, giving me the opportunity to capture footage with my Osmo Pocket camera. Thanks to them and American Airlines.
We interrupt the postings from Spain for this photo taken on a southbound flight over the Delaware Bay. Look closely and you’ll see ships in the anchorage.
That’s Cape May in the upper left part of the frame. I used to be down there looking up. Now I’m up there looking down. Kind of strange. Thanks to American Airlines for another great flight.

Medevac Mastery
Was interesting to see all the options for a medevac helicopter at the HeliExpo this week.
Not only was the equipment impressive, but the pilots, flight nurses, and medics all demonstrated an exceptional level of knowledge and capability. It’s good to know there are people and equipment at the ready in case of the worst. And it’s only getting better. It’s amazing what they can pack into a flying machine. Hopefully, I never need one.
