A Day at PAE

Seattle Post #2

I write this from the grassy knoll overlooking Paine Field. Wireless internet was kindly donated by Paris' father. The weather is a kin to Southern California right now and I believe I've found myself in Seattle on the nicest weather day of the year. Right now I'm looking at the threshold of runway 16R. I must admit, I'm in awe. I've spent the last three plus months staring at this very spot from 3000 miles away, and here I find myself. To see it in person makes this whole process real. Everything I've been writing about felt somewhat detached. This IS real.

The picture below was taken moments ago. It shows the line up of the seven series aircraft preparing for tonight.
