XNA-LAX-XNA: a birds eye view

We departed XNA right on time today and enjoyed a nice ride out to LAX. We saw the Razorback Softball team at the airport - we had taken them to LA just two weeks ago. This time the bubbly co-eds were on their way to DFW for a game, and we wished them luck.

The ride was smooth up high and we enjoyed a commanding view of the southwestern US. We didn't spot any military aircraft this time, unfortunately. One of these days I'll be able to snag a photo of aerial refueling for the blog, or perhaps a formation flight.

We were greeted by our 'Raider Nation' ground crew, who were in good spirits even though the football season has ended. They did an outstanding job of prepping us for the return flight, and while we were on the ground we got to watch the venerable SAAB 340s of our fleet conducting various operations -which brought back memories for my crew. Three of us flew SAABs for 10 years, and the sound of those props brought smiles to our faces! It was almost like old times...
