Against the Wind for Two Years

I have been blogging about life as a line pilot for two years and two days. It has been interesting, to say the least. In that two years and two days, I have flown in heavy weather, operated in extreme crosswinds, wondered about how much ice a transport category aircraft can really carry, made three or four terrible landings, lost two comrades to the final checkride, attended four retirement parties of close friends, and worried as a very close relative spent one year in combat.

All in all, though, life has been good... Very good. Borrowing from a common saying among line pilots at my airline, "The blogging will continue until moral improves."
