My wife and I happened to have 4 days off together recently and since the snowfall at home in Colorado had been mediocre we decided to skip snowboarding that week and fly somewhere instead. So off to Paris it was.

Where to go? CDG Train Station. Always love looking at the departure boards and seeing all the wonderful places to go.

A meal with a view. This gent had stopped just to feed the birds.

I never go on holiday without taking a picture of a bicycle somewhere! Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel.

Good fuel for body & soul – cappuccino and pain aux raisin. Bon-appetit!

It’s always tough to get a ‘fresh’ image of Le Eiffel.

The ever-enchanting Louvre.

Well done! My new favorite aeroplane!

That aircraft was a bloody engineering miracle when it came out...I can only imagine the feeling of going full burner on takeoff in one of those things. According to Wikipedia, it had a 17,400ft/min climb rate at gross weight, OMGZ! :eek2:
 
Two more human autopilots to the list. :D


First was high school senior Jeff. Found his house and school on first try.

Second was a JCer. Survived bouncing over East River and drove me to Mystic Pizza then landed on aircraft carrier 12N on second try. Thanks for coming buddy good job :D

A few from my last 4 day.

We were waiting out a release time out of Eglin back to Charlotte and then got held up because of an IFE recovery. Our TCAS was MELed and the flight was an some random emergency frequency so we had no idea when they were going to land. By the time I saw them and got my camera up and aimed they were already a LONG way down the runway. The wingman flew right over the top of us though, which I was kind of less than impressed with.
