Surely you've seen the ghetto delta commercial?! Just in case...

I'm guessing you don't fly out of EWR much?

Dipping down into a blanket of clouds into hard IMC then busting out of the base at 200ft. I love flying at night too. It's never busy and usually I hear some pretty funny stuff on the radio at night.

One experience in particular sticks out in my mind:

Launching at 730AM flying over my old high school on the way to the practice area, looking down knowing all my friends were walking to classes they didn't want to go to while I was up in the best classroom on earth. Also seeing the valley fog spreading out under me like a spider web was pretty cool too

I like the idea of this thread, although I'm not sure what the reference to the Delta commercial has to do with it?
Favorite thing about flying...."da fly a** Delta cootchies".

There are times when I would rather be stuck in my car for 2 hours listening to music as opposed to listening to the annoying ramp controller in EWR yell at everybody for his mistakes for 2 hours.
