Spring

[RA1]

Spring must be just around the corner. Today it will be in the upper 60's in MEM but what really tells me that the seasons are changing is the robin who is building a nest on my south window. He (and probably she) is very diligent. They have been making noises against the window for two days now. I have tried to not interfere with any nest making and I am hoping that the male robin is NOT just attacking his reflection in the window. What a waste of time.

Anyway, I look forward to the change of seasons even though they will provide new challenges for flying. Changes of seasons always provide weather which can be severe at times. I always try to avoid thunder bumpers. They annoy my passengers and might spill their drinks.

Best regards,

I am not sure why, perhaps the MEM, but I assumed that you flew cargo.

Noisy and nettlesome cargo with a lot of druthers, I'm sure RA1 would agree.

Because MEM is the world headquarters and largest hub for FEDEX it is fairly natural to assume most any pilot works for them. Indeed it is the domicile of many of them. Until a few months ago NW nee DL had a hub here and a domicile but no longer.

Regardless of all that I fly a corporate plane which I try to not fly without passengers on board. Without a doubt my passengers are perhaps overly solicitous of my well being, after all I know them all AND a lot of the time I am the only pilot.

Unlike most corporate flights we do not cater to the pax; no coffee, no soft drinks, no hard drinks, not even a newspaper. Those things are readily available and they are welcome to bring them on board. For some reason this has been policy at this company since day one. I had to break myself of the habit of putting all that on board after so many years of doing so.

Best regards,
