@PersistenceOfMemory Yours is an elegant summation, wonderfully poetic. Thank you 😌

@SethGreene531 English it is not my native ....but , what words are needed for to express that feeling .. the entry into such a sweet space ....'' sanctity of space '' ..... It is me to thank you !

@SW-User A little bit of heaven on earth, isn't it?

@SethGreene531 undoubtedly

@Mindful Not sure who coined it, but definitely in the pilot's glossary for finding a pocket of sky!


The skies, the clouds, flying----and airplanes.☺️

I have some flight experience. The plan was to fly for the majors or corporate as a commercial pilot -- then 9/11 happened, the industry tanked.

It has un tanked? My house mate used to fly and now he and some other retired pilot participate in an RCA ?? club. He loves it!@SethGreene531 and enjoys the interaction with other pilots. He himself suffered from an operation and can no longer fly. This club has added life to his step.

@Mindful How interesting, had no idea your S.O was a former pilot-- very cool!

An RCA club is a lot of fun, hours of joy and camaraderie.

I don't follow the industry trends anymore, but it seems they often suffer economically.
