Getting ready to try again

Up early this morning to head for the airport to try a second time to land on Palmyra. In the meantime, here are two photos taken during our first attempt on Friday. We had a short delay on the runway as there were 4 fighter planes ahead of us in the queue for take-off. The first photo shows two of them taking off. The second is the cockpit of the Gulfstream 4. Notice the formal "uniforms" of the pilot and co-pilot.
