Flying - The Day After

Yesterday I went flying.  Normally that wouldn't be anything unusual, but yesterday was not a normal day.  It was Wednesday, September 12, the day after the attack on the World Trade Center.  Flying yesterday was a bizarre and emotional experience.  I'm writing this account both to share the experience with others and as a record for myself of that peculiar and difficult day.

On this 20th anniversary of the worse terrorist attack on American soil, San Francisco Bay Group 2 recognizes one of their own: Jason M. Dahl, Captain, United Airlines Flight 93 (N591UA) 2 Nov 1957 - 11 Sep 2001.
