Planes and Helicopters

Did I tell you guys about when I went to Utah in October on our company plane? We were landing at several different airports and seeing buildings we had under construction along the way. At our last one, we almost landed then went right back up. It was daylight out. But our pilots said there was a plane on the runway AND there were helicopters everywhere. They said it was best described as "chaos." 

Small airports like where we were don't have air traffic control towers. And it was a popular touristy place hence the helicopters. They were able to physically see them all and they had them located on their computers. I trust these pilots completely and would fly with them any day of the week. 

It makes me think about those people from last week's crash at Reagan airport. I just cannot believe that happened and I'm so sorry for them and all of their families. I hope the passengers and pilots on both aircraft didn't suffer at all. 

Ugh! I know a car crash is still more likely but it is something about having more control over that situation. Still, crazy people all over the place. I do not want to fly on the same plane with Kevin unless all four of us are together. We have discussed this but I'll be discussing it with him more!

Be safe all!
