Do it, Feel it.
Okay.. you are an observant bunch, my friends. And I made the deliberate decision not to mention it immediately because, well.. I just didn't want to ruin the feng shui of this incredible moment.
The reason you have only seen that one shot of me taking off... over and over again.. and nothing else.. no 7.3g.. no "weekend ho".. no pseudo-dogfighting stuff...............
THE CAMERA IN THE PLANE BROKE IMMEDIATELY BEFORE MY FIRST MANEUVER.
So looks like you know me, and you know that it's odd that I don't have all 45 minutes on-line for you to check out, plus a music piece, plus a traditional pkg... I could have cried, but I'm still pretty amped up from flying so, whatever. It's is a little bit of a bummer because I really wanted to double check if I went 97% lights out on those hard g's or 100% lights out. I'm relying on Corky who doesn't think he saw my head flop around, but I'm pretty sure he was busy flying when all that was going on.
This is what happened as we taxied back to the hangar, before I knew my video was toast:

Go Time All Gone
The airshow was great!! I saw some of you there Sunday!!! Man, how about those Blue Angels?! I'm a lucky, lucky girl.
Here's #7 Crew Chief Deo H. telling me all the things I am to keep my little mitts off of in the cockpit, which is like telling a toddler to leave that candy on the coffee table alone.
Short answer: hands off everything. Long answer: if it's yellow and black it has the potential to either explode, launch you out of the jet, or ruin your day. I was welcome to touch the motion sickness bags, but in case you haven't heard.. I DIDN'T NEED THEM.

Oh yeah, I bought an iPhone. I love it. No, I don't just love it... I REALLY love it. Goodbye getting lost on the way home from, oh I dunno, just about everywhere! Hello Google maps! Hello wi-fi web access. Howdy, virtual voicemail. Wassup, killer predictive txt. Nice to meet you 2 megapixel camera. Greetings slick touch-interface (that has me messing around with it even when there's no reason to).
Anyway. Hopefully the novelty will wear off. This after my other phone died this undignified death last week. And, really, it didn't die outright. It just wouldn't allow me access to email or the net for like 4 hours, putting me in a tailspin. I MEAN WHAT WOULD I DO WITHOUT INTERNET OR TEXT MESSAGES? ON MY PHONE. FOR A WHOLE FOUR HOURS!??!!! But the troubleshooter gal told me I'd need to replace it. So I did.
By the way, since I still cover health stuff, someone pointed this out to me:
