*FAN MAIL: Text Greg your comments! One thing I love about flying is that there are so many dimensions to it. It might be as simple as going from point a to point B... For a meeting... Or a "hundred-dollar hamburger." But sometimes piloting takes you mystically and magically to faraway places—spiritually or across time. And that's what this story i…

*FAN MAIL: Text Greg your comments! One thing I’ve learned over many years of piloting is that rarely can we plan a flight, take off, and then not need to worry about anything until we reach our destination.
