Well I have been away since last Thursday, April 7th. My wife and I caught a 7:00am flight on one of Jetblue's new A320's from JFK. We flew to San Juan Puerto Rico and stayed at the El Conquistador for 4 days. We got in at 1 am last night. My two little girls stayed with my in-laws so we really got to have some time to ourselves! Wink

Here are some shots from our little getaway.

Hey Gunny. I have got a shot of every flight deck on every plane I have ever flown. All I do is ask. Even after 9-11, the pilot always seems happy to let me. Most of the pilots of the aircraft I have flown on usually say goodbye to the passengers as they are exiting while the co-pilot goes through the shut down procedures. I will say to the Pilot, "Hey, thanks for a real smooth flight. Do you mind if I get a shot of the Flight Deck?" I once had a TWA pilot say, "why don't you hop up there in the captain's seat and I will take a picture". So I did. Unfortunately that was with a 35mm over 9 years ago and is tucked away someplace in a box in my attic. Roll Eyes
