It is nice to once again find myself within the confines of my trusty 767 cockpit. A lamb's wool seat cover caresses my ample behind, as I sit ensconced in my little home away from home.This home has its advantages over my earthbound abode. I can get coffee just for the asking up here, people occasionally call me "sir" and I have a much better view out of my window.This trip is a relief from the hurly-burly of the few days I spent at Sun 'n Fun in Lakeland. I couldn't help but notice as we took off from Tampa this morning that our ATC controller was not actually on the runway with orange wands like in Lakeland but instead communicated with us over the more sophisticated and modern VHF radio.
