Backcountry Skiing Flight
On the way to Denver in a United plane. I think the pilot was waving at me as I took his photo in the reflection on the engine. We were flying through epic moisture that dumped on Colorado the past few days. I saw at least a dozen snowflakes with my name on ‘em.

    Lou: You captured a view of an extremely rare aircraft: a jet with a prop on it. Copywrite it now before someone else steals it.

    He he, isn’t it a propjet? If not, mea culpa… just in case, I changed the word from “jet” to “plane.” Don’t want to look any more travel stressed than I already am (smile).

Got something to say? Please do so.
