Wow, way too cool. Where were you going? How high were you? How fast were you flying? How cold was it on the ground? Was this in winter? Is it the same plane as your avatar? Were you carrying anything in the plane?
I am so morbidly curious partly because I live near McChord AFB and similar behemoths would fly around all day long. When I happen to be out in the park with my dog, I look up and wonder what it would be like. I wave, but I don't think anybody saw me.

DB, how is England today? Just a personal aside, my husband's family once traced its roots back to old William Shakespeare, if you can believe that. Aunt Mildred was an avid genealogist.
I saw the McChord bird at about 8:45 am so it could not have been lunch time.

Vagabond - I haven't been back to Dear Ol' Blighty since last October, but speaking to family over there, I'm told the weather (surprisingly enough) is better than where I'm at up here in Western NY! My mother is also an avid genealogist, and apparently I come from a long line of gypsies (but also have an Uncle who was post-humously awarded the Victoria Cross during WW2).
