About Me

My photo
After many years in aviation as a corporate pilot, the Good Lord has guided me on a career path I never saw myself taking. As it was so elegantly put in the movie Top Gun, I now literally find myself "flying a cargo plane full of rubber dog #$@! out of Hong Kong"! Ah, but this is not just any cargo plane...it is currently one of the largest, longest range, most technologically advanced cargo planes in the world...the Boeing 777F!

A Few Days in Milan, Italy

My Co-Captain Thomas (fellow furloughee) & I have decided that of all the places we've visited thus far on this journey, Italy is our favorite. The people are friendly, the scenery is GREAT & the food is EXCELLENT! Sounds like we will be in Italy a lot & short of missing our families while we are away, the time n Italy is definitely a high point. Here are a load of pics from our time in Milan last week.




Here are a some of the mountains in northern Italy, between Pisa & Milan. Milan lies just south of the Alps & Switzerland, for those that are unfamiliar.




This fort was way too big for my camera.



The BMW solution to an all-season scooter. Saw a lot of these around town.



That is one BIG set of double doors!



This little girl was certainly a good sport for all the picture that were being taken of her. I'm sure that after all this, she found out what statues likely know to be true...birds aren't the cleanest creatures out there :)










Quite the network of wiring for all the trolley cars & even busses that run on electricity.
