Southernjets ramp:

We were doing a runway change in JFK and the traffic we were supposed to follow was the opposite direction "Giant", but the Embraer apparently went off frequency or "NORDO" so they had to call out a airport truck to tell the Embraer to go back to ground or tower control.


Valley fog on arrival to BCN


Balloons on arrival. Traffic...traffic


Notable mountains


Gaudi-designed powerplant?


The Med:


Drat! They beat us.


Where the hell am I going again?


Purdy...










Usually a good meeting spot for the crew when you want to meet up for cerveza and sangria:


Crossin' the street:




Hoo hoo! The "Chicken House"


This is funny, the sex shop was showing the Germany-Spain game rather than "The Original Sport"


I wonder who won...

I was joking around in a bar and whistled the chorus to "Deutschland Uber Alles" as a joke to my group, it got very quiet and the speaker threatened to kick my butt!

Nice pictures, by the way.
