- - - more like "crossed paths." After taking my Thanksgiving guest to Portland Jetport today I stopped into Becky's Diner, on Portland's waterfront. http://www.beckysdiner.com/ The fellow sitting in the next booth had a T-shirt that screamed aviation. So we talked for a bit. He had flown from Ocala, FL a 414 for maintenance at Maine Aviation Company at KPWM. His personal plane is a late 1960s C-172. Name? Who needs names to talk aviation? He saw some of my aerial photos and I suspect we'll be in further contact at some point.
My guest? From Fort Lauderdale, arrived on the 24th. Disaster flight! No electricity in Baltimore, thus caused flight problems. SHE got to Portland; baggage didn't - got personally delivered to here the next morning. The bad storm occurred at Thanksgiving. December 02: snow/freezing rain/icy roads all night and morning of Dec. 03. Slower than usual trip to Portland Jetport. She had arrived in a storm and left in one. Arrived KFTL at 1700 -- 81° It's been a long day.
