That was a fun day, great stories.

Amazing photos dude. I took my private pilot checkride at Sonoma Jet Center a little more than a decade ago, and that ramp is basically unrecognizable with all the jets now. Back then the biggest airplane you’d see at the terminal was @Autothrust Blue ‘s first love the EMB-120 Brasilia.

With more and more Bay Area people spilling into Sonoma County in search of “affordable” housing, who knows maybe STS will become a more relevant airline destination... maybe.

Her middle sister is mad that you forgot my time with her, but she was certainly the longest and best of them.

I think STS draws in people from the North Bay and Napa who are going to Vegas\SoCal or don't mind connecting rather than driving to SFO\OAK and dealing with all that+parking.

And who the hell wears a baseball hat in uniform?

*Looks around awkwardly*
Only when the door is closed though. Although at Penair it was part of the uniform.

Let it be noted that I think the normal airline pilot getup is kinda antiquated and dumb HOWEVER.....why do these outfits scream “rental car agency” to me?

$130/hr to wear 8 stripes and a baseball hat.

I suspect this is an aggressively unflattering photo where purple light reflecting off stuff isn't helping.

Or ... maybe the "white" is actually a very pale purple that kinda looks like some fancy purple underwear got mixed-in with the whites?

Compare the polo shirt here with the white aircraft fuselage:

Reading THIS in Todd's voice was very satisfying for some reason.

Tank photo Todd is the gift that keeps on giving. I can't wait for the next @SlumTodd_Millionaire road trip.
