Really just a lovely experience as a jumpseater SAV-DTW today. DL’s agents were great. SkyWest crew was great. SAV is also a really nice smaller airport. Happens to have F-15s visiting this week, too, so got a little show from them.

I’m old enough to remember these, but only to the tune of my parents telling me not to touch them.

Newest #AvGeek addition to the collection: A GTE Airfone. These were found on hundreds of planes in the US connected to the Airfone network on the ground. Note the credit card reader on the handset... How many of you made a $4.99/min call using one of these?

Look at that…Seat 1A home to DTW 😆. Thanks for the ride, SkyWest

Kinda accidentally spent an extra night in Savannah. Getting home tomorrow looking promising.

Through the end of August 2026, the House was in session for roughly 383 hours total. That’s an average of about 48 hours per month. Their average monthly floor time is well below the 80-hour monthly threshold the same Congress imposed on Medicaid recipients.

Travel backpacks. Who makes the best ones? I’ve got a Herschel that I use for my work commute and sometimes for travel. It’s great but wearing out. Also doesn’t have the pass-through to put on top of a roller bag,

Notre Dame 3-0 isn’t exactly the norm: I’ll take it.

Open to any and all recommendations for Savannah, GA. My parents’ Hilton Head rental (which has been wonderful) ends Saturday, I’m sticking around for a couple days in SAV. Don’t go back to work ‘til late next week.

I’m an F-16 fanboy, but this does seem like a good idea.

Should I have spent $50 on a hat? No. Am I on vacation and in a very f*ck it mood? Yes.

Any other grown-ass adults who just love stickers? It’s my go-to cheap thing to collect. Mostly travel themed, with a fair amount of random nonsense.

Watching a thunderstorm develop from a distance will never get old.

DTW to ORD or CLT to connect to HHH? Mainline to either one, both E175s to HHH…hmm…

I *might* be a little indecisive about how to get to Hilton Head next weekend.

Made the wrong decision to watch Netflix’s “Generation 9/11” doc tonight. After a cargo aircraft crash and various other human things today, to say my emotions are fried is an understatement.

And if you think this is wrong and needs to be addressed they call you a communist

Us MAC people need to stick together against the big name teams. WMU was absolutely robbed. Was almost comical to watch.

I laughed out loud at this post on FB, you know which one I am 😂

Back in the oppressively hot and humid Great Lakes now, but I gotta say, the $39 bay cruise plus the $6 onboard beer was a pretty good deal just for the views.

DTW would lose half its parking revenue, but man, full sized pickups should NOT be allowed in airport parking garages.
