I just got back to Brooklyn from Maine. I’d never been to Maine before. I need to figure out which states I’m lacking now. I think I’m down to like Vermont, New Hampshire and Alaska.
I got to the airport at 6:45am for my 7am ready reserve shift. I was on duty until 5pm. At 4:15pm, they called me to go to Maine. At first, annoying. But then I remembered, “Hey, that means I get to fly a jet!”
And then we had a 1.5 hour ground delay before we could come back to New York.
I landed on centerline, with a perfectly acceptable visual approach with no electronic guidance at all back in JFK tonight. It wasn’t exceptionally smooth, but it was perfectly adequate.
Buffalo and back tomorrow. I was doing a DCA turn, but I got back too late for rest requirements.
Sleep now.
