Hi all,
I thought that I would share a bit of fun and frustration I had at Albany today. I was at work and saw that a North American flight from Italy was scheduled to arrive at 5:09 (gotta love flightaware!). Almost a perfect time of day for me to stop by the airport on my way home from work. As I was driving, I tuned in on the scanner but still no sign of NAO 16 by the time I got near the airport. Fine, I'll go pick up my son from daycare (only a mile away or so) and we'll head back to the airport. Wouldn't you know, halfway to daycare I hear the North American 16 heavy call sign!
I grab my son from daycare and hightail it back to the airport - to no avail, I missed the arrival by about 5 minutes :-(
We waited an hour or so for the departure - but a 3 year old can only wait so long ... Besides, the clouds we coming in anyway. Here's the only shot I could produce
