    She just departed on her next mission an hour ago. She should be back soon. Landing is on 22 right now though so no more shots. My unediteds will be up when I get home from work later tonight.

    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    One of these days (soon I promise) I will master the art of posting photos on this site other than links to JP and a.net. I got some nice close ups on Friday but due to my not having a choice of time of day and the very bright conditions my shots where too overexposed for JP. Anyway she looks really nice up close and looking forward to seeing more shots from Saturday.

    Phil - you absolutely nailed it!

    Great shots.

    For myself, I had to be at work on Saturday, but I was at least able to get out for the 4pm departure..

    Ron - Thanks for posting the times and the heads up on this one...

    Still not able to get my picture up yet but today I had the entire tower here at LGA going bonkers about this airplane . Once I told them it was like the old USAirways shuttle airplane's with winglets, no windows and a few performance adjustments everyone was stoked about it.

    Ahh, so this is what really happens during those flights.

    Couple get engaged on zero-gravity flight
    NEW YORK, May 6 (UPI) -- A man proposed to his girlfriend during the weekend while the two were aboard a zero-gravity flight that took off from New York's La Guardia Airport.

    Alexander Loucopoulas, 32, arranged the 90-minute flight aboard the Boeing 727. He told The New York Post the flight cost $3,500 per person -- but it was worth it to him to see the shock on his girlfriend's face as he presented the ring.

    Loucopoulas, a banker in private equity, said he wanted a unique experience.

    "I was so surprised. I'm in total shock," said his fiancee, Graciela Asturias, a 27-year-old architect who lives in Manhattan.

    Loucopoulas said he wasn't afraid he'd drop the ring, but did worry it might float away in zero-gravity.

    The flight was arranged by Space Adventures of Virginia, which also organized Charles Simonyi's $20 million flight to space last month.
