Salon.com's "Ask the Pilot" - excellent reading
I happened to navigate to Salon.com the other day. It's one of those websites I remembered hearing about a couple years ago, but had forgotten about until recently a friend pointed me to an article there. Salon.com is known for its excellent writing staff, and sure enough, the quality is stillthere today. As I was perusing their content, I happened across a weekly column called "Ask the Pilot".
Hours later, I'm still reading. By far and away one of the best series of articles I've ever read. They stir up memories, make me laugh, think, and most of all, remind me how interesting flying really can be. I'd encourage you all to suffer through the madatory advertisement for a free day pass, and then check out "Ask the Pilot".
Here's a good article to start with:
""I'd like to welcome you to Honolulu. Unfortunately, we are in Fresno." Public address announcement hysteria rules the skies."
