I began this “journey” about a year or so ago. I had been living in bad patterns for probably two years at that point, but it was finally catching up to me.

Last week I enjoyed writing on 9 observations of an American airport. In keeping with my theme of observations of the American aviation system, here I will tackle some of what goes on during domestic flights in my beloved homeland.
