It was a kinda "happy" flight as everyone was thrilled to be in the presence of the "flame" It was, of course contained in a lantern type fixture at the end of a torch shaped holder. I thought it was kinda neat to be there. It was after the sun went down and the cabin was mostly dark after take off so the torch kinda "glowed" in the cabin and made it festive-like.
That's all for now. keep posting.
Wow. I was just thinking "ok, Hawaii congressmen aren't exactly celebrities... actually politician other than the President and "Arnold" aren't celebrities, even though they act like it..."
But then... the flame. That, I have to admit, would have been awesome.
