American Airlines Virtual

Sergio's approach.

The weather was so bad I didn't even see runway lights until about 2 miles out.

My descent into the clouds and muck.

Off and on Rick reported some difficulties with this Airbus, but he hung in there and applied some of those excellent pilot skills we learn here at AAV and nursed this baby all the way to the finale.

Didn't have Alaska colors for Rick, so I put him the best colors I had for that flavor of Airbus.

Wayne enroute.

Sergio lifts off.

My turn. Sergio is next and Rick behind him.

Fair turnout - but definitely quality. John Moore (AAV280), Rick Stevens (AAV409), me (AAV580), Sergio Sanches (AAV742), and Wayne Pierce (AAV783). All but Rick opted to fly the C130. He chose some foreign bird ... more on that later.

Here, I'm waiting behind Wayne.

Welcome aboard, Corey.

Welcome aboard, Ralph.

Welcome to AAV and DFW, Dennis. Glad to have you aboard.

Welcome aboard, Jim. We accept Air Force retreads, too.

Robert & Wayne, congratulations to both of you on your accomplishment!
