so i went out flying with my boss's boss yesterday, and managed to survive the experience. it was my first time up in a small plane like that, and well it was a little weird, i have to say i enjoyed it. we went up to providence, had dinner, and came back. it's definitely pretty cool that you can take a trip that normally would take several hours and lots of traffic, and reduce it to a little over an hour, depending on wind.
also, i must admit, they just have the coolest toys in airplanes. mark's gps is just so neat ;-)
