Before you know it, you're at commercial altitude, you know, 45,000 feet. You're going like 550 miles an hour under supersonic flight. That's pretty far under. That's almost 100 miles, more than 100 miles an hour under. Yeah, but that's still pretty quick. But I mean, he took off and then like shot. I don't want to say straight up, but I've never been in a plane since. And this is a while ago, and I've had a lot of other flights that did that. Let's see, there was another flight, I remember, it was from Miami to Birmingham. And I met a bunch of people on the plane while we were headed over there. And we were all going for training. One guy was going for a job. He had just graduated, and he was telling everybody about how many places he had been to to check out the jobs. And the companies were paying for his flight and hotel room there to check out the jobs. I guess it's good to continue education there. At least it was for him, because he was talking about all the different places he had been. And he hadn't decided yet which company he was going to work for. Of course, he was going to have to relocate if he took any of those jobs and moved to those other places. And when the flight landed, we all found ourselves in the same limo. And not the kind of chauffeured limo, this is like one of those, they call them limo services, but they're really like passenger vans. So we were all in there, and we were getting dropped off to our respective hotels. That was a pretty neat experience. So the guy I was talking about and myself, we were the last two to get dropped off. And I got dropped off right before he did to my hotel. I remember there was a lot of flooding going on around that time too, because looking out of the airplane, all you could see was water everywhere. But where my hotel was, it was because you had to walk up a great big steep hill. It's pretty hilly there where I was. By the time you got out of the limo, until I walked and got to the hotel to check in to my room, I was out of breath. So it was pretty dry there. And the training center I was going to was right next door to the hotel. I was under the impression that they owned a hotel at the training center. By AA-4-HO, Ron Miramoff, Florida.
