Journal Notes
- had to wait for an arriving CRJ before I could taxi for takeoff
- at this elevation the airplane want's to climb like a Saturn 5 rocket... well... you know.
- destination was disappointing.
- Weird FSX tricks... none this flight... phew!
- Refuel and top up oil on arrival.  AME says "like new",
- In RW, Marg texted from Toronto during my climb that she is safe and sound in Toronto!  A lot more rain here to help melt some snow.
