Tracking #1 son

#1 son recently took a job flying for Sky West (they provide connecting services for different airlines (United, Delta, etc). When I know his Flight number is I can go to Flightradar24 and track him as he flies.

Just took this sucker << (see that word? That was supposed to say "screen" but auto-correct decided it should be "sucker") shot of him flying from Helena, MT to Denver. He had just overflown Yellowstone.

I once used SIRI On my iPhone to compose a text message to my wife. I did not look at it closely before sending it. My wife texted me back and asked why I needed a tonsillectomy. True story.

My favorite is "what's up" translated to "whore's bikinis". My wife got some good mileage out of that one!!

Back to the thread - Congratulations on your son becoming a pilot for the airlines! Hope he enjoys his time in the air and advances in the ranks - a dream of mine many years ago.
