The current view outside my room:
Also seen through the window at the end of the hall, off in the distance beyond the Fly Delta Air Lines sign is a DL 747! Too far away to get a good picture though.

Logistics for this morning:
By my count we could have as many as 12ish people for breakfast this morning. Dunno what the arrangements are like inside but probably what makes the most sense is to just meet up with people near the front and get seated in smaller groups?
Today I'm wearing tan cargo shorts and a light green t-shirt saying "Dayton Aviation Heritage" with a design of the Wright Flyer on it.

Don't know if you all know but the A350 departed ATL this morning en route to DTW! I wonder if anyone was up early to see it depart?
