Robbie in flight

For some of our family, jet setting around the globe is no big deal, but for me.... no one in our cluster hardly takes to the air. Which is why it is a big deal. Especially since it was Robbies first ride in an airplane. Something I have yet to do myself.

He and Mommy flew to New York this week while I slaved at work. The ever protective father and husband, I tracked the flight via the Internet, where you can watch a little blue plane as it progresses over Google maps. Here is "The Flight of Robbie!!!!"
The blue line represents the jets rout. Robbie practically flew over Nanna's head! The red circle indicates Nannas general location. Many of you may recognize the giant farm field behind her house. Robbie could have parachuted down and said hello.

I caught up with the plane as it was hitting Virginia, home of grove avenue bride. In this shot you can see little blue plane as it zooms through Maryland at plus 30,000 feet and heads for Ocean City, home of senior week class of 94. I'm old.

At this point the little blue plane had safely landed in New York. Satisfied that my wife was on the ground I got this one last screen. It appears here that the plane decided to land perpendicular to the runway instead of on it. What an odd piloting decision!

The story from the plane is that it was Robbie who kept Mommy calm during the take-off and landing. Good job Robbie! Little Jet setter!

Join me next time as I track
