Orlando to the Home of the Super Bowl Champs - 2/26/10 GFI

[Harold Henderson]

In honor of the new Super Bowl Champs - New Orleans Saints - we flew from Orlando to New Orleans. Participants this evening were: John Moore (AAV280), Rick Stevens (AAV409), Ted Martin (AAV537), me (AAV580), Sergio Sanchez (AAV742), Wayne Pierce (AAV783), and Steve Sondheimer (AAV825).

As you can see we were scattered around the terminals.

I was first up to the threshhold with the others tagging along behind.

Again, all starters finished - albeit a few with slight detours and teleportations. We had excitement - headon encounters at near altitudes and landing in the rain and inclement weather. A good time was had by almost all - and he will get to go first next time and spend more time sitting on the ground waiting for the rest of us.

Also, Wayne has promised a flight with tailwinds next time.
