Captain's Log is the true story of a commercial airline pilot. I have logged more than 20,000 hours over 25 years. I have fought a war, delivered humanitarian relief, supported the U.S. President on visits to foreign lands, flown over 100,000 people like you, safely, to destinations large and small. I want to share normal, boring, odd, hilarious, and seat-of-the pants flying experiences. I thank you for your trust in me and humbly tell you my story.

Final Approach Montego Bay
This is a shot of the approach to the international airport in Jamaica. The runway is across the bay straight off the nose.
I used to enjoy watching the kids standing just outside the barb-wire on the seawall at the departure threshold (maybe you've seen them too?). As each departing jet revved up the engines, the blast would send the kids flying back into the surf. You don't have to be crazy to be a teen-aged boy, but it helps. Thanks for the photo.
