flying

I am not personally a fan of flying. I spend a lot of time looking for convenient things to make it more enjoyable or at the very least less miserable, so here's my list of five items that will improve your flight experience tenfold.

In a law that probably no one knew existed, if a gold star does not appear in the top right corner of your license, you can't get on a plane to fly, internationally or domestically.

Tuesday night, around 8:00 p.m. drivers were pulling over to collect cash all over the interstate.

18-year-old Mason Andrews became the youngest pilot to fly solo around the world.

If he is successful, the Louisiana Tech University aviation student will be the youngest person to ever fly around the world.

Nope, never flying again.

Who gets the armrest on the airplane? When is an e-mail thank you note good enough? What's polite and what makes you look like jerk?

I came across this awesome video on YouTube. A pilot took off from the Shreveport Downtown Airport with a camera attached to his plane, and the view is amazing. You see landmarks like the mighty Red River, I-220, Downtown Shreveport and the Boardwalk...

Have you ever been on an airplane? Unless you're piloting it's cramped, confined experience full of screaming babies and mucus oozing coughing people. Gross right? I want to be free like a bird and fly across the country, since I can't I'll just watch this video and pretend...

Here's a really cool video of a guy flying from San Fransico to France with a time lapse camera which is neat b/c you see stuff on the ground ... clouds ... oh and a flipping AURORA BOREALIS!! None stop flight to awesome after the jump in this story.
