I was on an American Airlines flight recently when the pilot received one of those urgent, undeniable calls of nature. It happens. So he asked me if I would mind taking over for just a few minutes. Ever the accommodating sort, I said sure. When, due to his extended delay, I had to land the plane unassisted he apologized profusely saying he was sure it was the raw oysters from the night before.
Passengers, please remain calm. One of us terrified is quite enough!
Actually, that is not precisely what happened. I suppose you are one of those sticklers for truth, historical accuracy and all that silly sort of thing. OK, OK. Then what really happened is that I was invited this morning, along with four hundred of my closest friends, out to DFW airport (or FW/d airport as I like to call it) to see the new American Airlines livery up close and personal. You don’t get much closer than the cockpit.
Here are a few pictures I took.

Terry, do you know of any good places to stay in belize? I have friends to refer to you – is there an agent that you would recommend to book their trip? They want to stay for a week in april, it is a honeymoon but they are 40ish. They want all inclusive and like soft adventure. Carolyn

Yes, I certainly can help. I will send you contact information by email for a Belize specialist that will definitely be able to help you.
I love the new look! I can’t wait to see their new planes 😉
Thanks so much for stopping by. I like the new look as well. It is clean, crisp and modern. I hope you get to fly AA soon and see for yourself.
