Last night, I sat outside after dark. There was a lot of activity in the sky. Most were airplanes. We live near an airport so that is not surprising. I know what airplanes look like and sound like. Other lights were not easy to...

DB @dgobucks226 (37621) 1 Mar 24

Do you remember your first airplane ride? I was about 7 years old when I traveled from New Jersey to North Carolina (U.S.) with my parents to see my grandad and grandma. They were on my mom's side of the family, and I also met...

Twenty-four hours late, but the race is here.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (84815) • Daytona Beach, Florida 19 Feb 24

I am not a sports fan by any streach, but George loves Nascar. He kept up with the race season for most of the year, but dropped off after a bit. However, he's watching the Daytona 500. His all-time favorite of the races. We could...

Cutting it close again.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (84815) • Daytona Beach, Florida 17 Feb 24

It's still morning though, and I'm getting a morning post in. An early start seems to have been to my benefit. It's a bit damp, cool, and overcast. A front is coming through so it promises to be a wet weekend. It may or may not...

Airplanes Flying Overhead

Ruby Hawk @RubyHawk (99367) • Atlanta, Georgia 13 Sep 23

It’s much cooler here today. I went out early for a walk and didn’t break a sweat. Dobbins airplanes have been flying over all morning so low they seem to almost touch the tree tops. They are either testing airplanes or pilots are...

Nostalgic toys

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169479) • United States 19 Apr 22

I love to fly

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (64169) • United States 30 Dec 21

I mean in a plane, and I'm not flying it, I'm just the attentive passenger. I think I can safely say that I took my first flight before I was two. I've had some long flights and some pretty short ones. I have never flown on a...

Anyone Flying to Visit Over the Holidays?

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29410) • Eugene, Oregon 2 Nov 21

I was reading over the last few days about American Airlines and others canceling hundreds of flights each day due to bad weather and a shortage of employees. Passengers were stranded in many cases. Then too, there seem to...

What do you think about the food served on airplanes?

The Invisible Man @TheInvisibleMan (17594) 11 Feb 17

In general: Do you think they are good, bad? Depends on airline company? Depends on a specific season? Depends on the class you are traveling in? Particularly, I think it depends on the financial aspect. Although the economy...

DianneN @DianneN (254926) • United States 25 Jun 16

I couldn't sleep past 5:30AM, which is unheard of for me. Once I popped out of bed, so did my husband. He went to the kitchen to put on the coffee, feed Doodles, got the newspaper, put on the news, and made breakfast. I went...
