The plane we were in yesterday was only in Calgary for a few hours and then another crew took it bright and early to fly down to Florida to continue the trip that we were originally to do.
So.. that means I'm still here in Washington (actually Virginia.. right on the border). Not quite sure what is happening with the plane, but if it gets fixed tonight, then we're off at 7am to Scottsdale Arizona (with a fuel stop somewhere... damn westerly winds are killers) for a pickup and then back up to Calgary.
We'll see if that happens or not.. I'm giving it 50/50 at this point. One thing's for certain. We're not making lots of money by having our jets flying all of these empty legs, it is VERY pricey. That's the price of doing business though - $hit happens. :)
Oh, and we went and checked out the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum which is right near the airport. It is a very cool place that costs $0! It is a must see in this area, they've got all sorts of goodies inside ranging from SR-71, to the Concorde, to the Enola Gay, to one of the Shuttles.. and it goes on and on. Check it out if you're in the area, you wont be disappointed!

Haha.. yah, not a bad machine. But not a cheap way to travel. Nor very safe when you have to put on full pressure suits just to fly the thing!
