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!

One Night in Damascus, Syria

I know it's not much to see from 30,000 feet, but this is Jerusalem about 30 miles of to our west as we descended into Damascus.




We didn't have much time in Damascus (only one night), but I did want to post a few pics for you to see what it looked like. It's not quite as dusty as Cairo but things are still rather old & outdated by US standards.





We didn't have time to go up there on this trip, but maybe you can tell from this pic, how it appears that houses have been built right up the steep slope of this mountain in the distance.



The view from my third floor hotel room, looking north.
