SOFIA’s last flight was today to Tucson, Arizona where it will be preserved at the Pima Air & Space Museum. I can’t wait to visit and see it among their collection!

Day 282: Monday October 9, 2023 - "Ruthlessly Seeking Routine"

September bumbled us off balance a bit but we have shifted into a new evolved gear here in October as we start to build what can be some routine off the Monday eve to Thursday eve work schedule. For all William knows, this is all perfectly normal - but he's definitely enjoying the shift too, spending all weekend clingy to his mama, filling up on her, knowing soon she'd be going back to work; they get a lot more time together with this shift and I remind myself, that this is what is most important. Time for me to grow my plate again, and get into the grit of the primary parent during the week - this is by far the best way for us to go if we're going to make this lifestyle work long term - a question thats been very front of mind for us during this tough season, while they hope for a new contract.

It was so nice tonight though that Audrie's commute flight was a little bit later, so we got normal dinner together before we old schooled it and drove Mama to the airport, leaving her right at the door under a pink sunsetty sky - it was a beautiful drive home, making it all a worthwhile excuse to get out of the house and be helpful. And its nice for William too who likes to see the Air Force base and the Pima Air Museum from his car seat on the way, and then the special treat of seeing Mama off right at the airport - he totally gets that she gets on the big blue airplane to go to work from there (though now he's convinced shes always in San Francisco). We say goodbye and give her big kisses and hugs and say that we will see her later this week. I tell her to make sure she wears her seatbelt as she hands that baby bum over to me. William doesn't fuss. All perfectly ok and normal for him. We get in the car and as he drives away he lets me know he would like a popscicle - as if he knows how helpful it is to not have meltdowns when mama goes.... how much that helps me. "What color?" I ask. Back at home I'll take some time and plan out the week, making sure to be intentional with this important time I have with my son. Reminders to facetime, baseball in a playground, trip to costco, what to have for dinner. How to keep things moving and positive and good in these few days that Audrie is gone - hoping that in some way makes that time go by a little faster.

Song: Dave Matthews - So Damn Lucky

Quote: "For nothing is fixed, forever and forever and forever, it is not fixed; the earth is always shifting, the light is always changing, the sea does not cease to grind down rock. Generations do not cease to be born, and we are responsible to them because we are the only witnesses they have. The sea rises, the light fails, lovers cling to each other, and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out." ~James Baldwin

As someone with a penchant for a misunderstood aircraft, I'm delighted that Sonny Holt's time with me discussing the Convair B-58 Hustler is the most popular episode I've done. The episode and its associated content has been viewed over 1.3 MILLION times. Totally wonderfully nuts.

Sonny has been championing his aircraft for decades and he continues to take a lot of sick for his views, just see comments on the posts by my sponsor, The Pima Air and Space Museum, on Facebook. Sonny's view is backed by experience and the politics of the Pentagon and he has my respect.

Many thanks to everyone who has listened, watched and engaged with this episode.

The Boneyard

A few years ago I visited the Pima Air Museum in Tuscon which is the museum attached to (well, literally it's across a highway from) the famous US Air Force Boneyard.

They had examples of just about everything including fighter jets.

Old and unique commercial planes.

Decommissioned bombers including the infamous B52.

Even the original Boeing 707 Air Force One.

There was even a spot where a group of old DC 3 airframes had been given over to artists to "makeover".

All in all it was an extremely interesting (though at times unsettling) place to spend a day. There's also a small private airport in between Phoenix and Tucson that isn't quite a "boneyard" but is a holding/storage spot for large commercial aircraft that the owners aren't actively using but that aren't at the end of their useful lives yet. I suppose it's where you go if you wanna kick the tires on that used 747. I couldn't get too close because they had roving security in humvees but I snapped a couple photos.
