    I have now been to—or at least traveled through a portion of—all the lower 48 U.S. states. Kansas is the only state where I haven’t been to a city, just traveled through.

    Kennedy Space Center

    Here’s a couple photos of Kennedy Space Center from a few weeks ago. I took these about a week before the Falcon Heavy launch, so I’m pretty sure it’s on one of the launch pads in the background.

    Apple Park

    Flew over Apple Park on approach to Mountain View/Moffett Federal Airfield (KNUQ.) I cropped one of the photos to get a good look inside.

    Refueling Flight

    These aren’t exactly travel photos, but photos of one of the coolest things I’ve ever gotten the opportunity to do. Back when I was flight instructing, we got a call out of the blue from somebody from the nearby Air Force Base asking if we could do a flight for an actor that was in town for an event at the base and we said yes. After the flight, the gentleman from the Air Force Base told me he had set me up on an incentive flight on a refueling flight.

    Here’s a picture I took a few weeks ago on approach into Telluride, Colorado (KTEX). I promise there is a runway in the picture.

    I don’t know why I hadn’t read any of the Jack Reacher novels before, but I don’t want to put down Killing Floor. 📚

    I’ve been thinking about what to do with my micro.blog. One of the first things I thought of is to do a travel journal of sorts of the interesting/unique/un-known airports I travel to. We all know of Cleveland, Ohio but how many know of Cleveland, Texas or Cleveland, Mississippi
