First flight
We finally got in the aircraft about a week ago but my first time in the seat was a short 20+ minute flight from PWK to MDW. There’s nothing like taking almost 1/2 hour in a plane to do what only takes about 45 minutes in a car. Nevertheless it was great to get up in the air and bump along at 3000 ft over Lake Michigan and then follow vectors to an ILS at MDW. Only one embarrassing moment that day - I was in the right seat for departure and told to “follow the whale to RWY 4 for departure” by ground, which of course at Midway means follow the Southwest Shamu painted aircraft… Just got a little confused on that one.
More later…
