and then the world went splat!

It's not something I advertise, but I'm a bit of a plane geek. Especially if they're military fighter jets. I've stunned more then one co-worker with my enthusiastic giddiness over these planes. Apparently it's a bit of a surprise when a dolled-up flight attendant starts waxing rhapsodic over planes. Or so I'm told.

Anyhow, this particular gem of a picture (even though it's a bit blurry which makes my heart weep) was taken from the cockpit of a Boeing 757 in Korat, Thailand. We were there dropping troops off and the Royal Thai Air Force and their squadron of F-16's is based there. So while we were waiting to use the runway to take off, this sweet little bird landed right in front of us.

And people wonder why I like to sit in the cockpit during ferry flights. We always get the best views up there.
