Fun with Airplanes

in general

Landing in San Francisco this morning, we had an interesting experience. We were escorted in by another plane (no, it was not an F-16). I’ve never seen, nor been a part of, a tandem landing. A bit of an odd experience, to say the least… I’ll update with a photo (I snapped a couple of shots). The two planes landed on parallel runways with about 2 seconds between them…

I’m in the Pachyderm project update meeting now, at the Grand Hyatt. Great group of folks!

UPDATE:

tandem landing at SFO

I think it is standard at SFO, a rather busy airport with multiple runways. It is eerie, yes.

Say yo to all the pachydermers… and hey, will I be able to get a beta version running by April? ;-)

Which April? ;-) We should have a beta running well before April. We kinda have it running now, but not polished enough to release into the wild (yet).
