I am getting ready to start my journey to be with Thom and his family in Virginia for Christmas. He left last week and has been there since Monday; tonight I fly out on a redeye and will join them tomorrow.
We booked our flights separately and several weeks apart, so our outbound flights ended up being completely different. Thom took Delta to Lynchburg via Atlanta, and I am taking United to Charlottesville via Washington (Dulles). (CHO-IAD may well be the shortest flight I’ve ever taken, just 77 miles.) And fortunately we coordinated our return next Monday.
I hope everyone has a happy holiday season!

That is definitely a short flight! (I went to school in C’ville. I flew from C’ville to NYC once, and I thought *that* was short.)
What kind of aircraft is the 77 mile flight on? (forgive the ending preposition…)
Hope you and Thom had a great holiday! (And I can’t imagine actually flying from Dulles to Charlottesville – what do they use, a Cessna?)
It’s on a prop plane, a Saab 340. The actual flight time from takeoff to landing was only about 20 minutes (though United’s timetable allots an hour).
Okay, time for another post, young man! Your public awaits! 🙂
