Nice view if you can get it
Yesterday was the day of the annual Geek Flight, in which the King and Queen of Geek Prom take an airplane ride courtesy of the fine folks at Cirrus Design.

did you get any video?

Starfire, Paul took video of the entire thing, from the parking lot, into the plane, and through the entire ride. I think he is either a) editing it or b) trying to get someone to edit it.

Editing is kind of a winter activity. But yeah, I have the footage.

I swear to God I only pressed "Post" once. I even got up and walked away from the computer. So don't blame me. Do Not Blame Me.
