Delta Pilot email after Japan Earthquake

This morning I woke with a feeling of occasion and nerves that I have not felt before- for on this day, I was to take to the air- alone.  I usually spring from my cot with the sun, but as the first rays leaked in through my shutters and onto the floorboards before me, and across the growing gaps between them, I found myself in quiet… (read more)
