I have always wanted to fly on the Good Year blimp. Well, bad news folks. Although I know a pilot for the company, no rides. Great. So, the next best thing was the Zeppelin.
Her name is Eureka, and she flew out of the Long Beach Airport, California. Weird at first, but cruising around at only 30 KIAS and at 1000 AGL. Weird.
I noticed that the Good Year blimp was also flying that day.
I will turn forty this year. To ring in this new chapter in my life I have decided to create a "sand pail list". This is a list of forty things that I have to do that I have not already done yet. Does not matter what it is, but it can not be something I have already done. And they all have to be completed before I turn forty-one. There are certain restrictions, though. Since I fly airplanes for a living, I have to make this a little bit more challenging. So, I have to actually go to places that I normally will not go to for work. Train, plane or automobile. Since I fly the smallest aircraft in the fleet, that still leaves me with a good amount of places that I could go to. I also can not visit a country I have already been to. I gotta go to new places.
