Default My morning highspeed in Rochester, NY

Sorry about the quality, but this was taken from my camera phone through the window of the terminal while waiting for the ferry permit to be signed off.

There is nothing quite like preflighting an aircraft at 5:30 in the morning when the temperature is -14 degrees celsius, with the wind blowing snow in your face, the forcasters issuing a severe windchill warning not to be outside with exposed skin. Especially, when it is first flight of the day so you have to open all the panels and bay doors for inspection. What makes it even more fun is when it is after the second continuous duty overnight in a row, the hotel does not have breakfast that early, and you get the one spot on the ramp with no jetbridge. In fact, it is so much fun that I got to do it twice since we had a mechanical requiring us to deplane, cancel the flight, and get a ferry permit several hours later. Who needs the southern California sun and the beach anyway? Ahhh yes, living the dream... living the dream.

Nope, made it back to Detroit by 10:30am, where it is only about 8 below freezing and 3 inches of snow on the ground and already had my Starbucks.
