Airplanes!

I had to run back to campus this afternoon, and I realized something on my way here that I wanted to put down quick. As most of you probably know, I absolutely love airplanes, and I just realized today that I see them on a regular basis in my day-t0-day life down here in Australia. I mean our location is prime placement for plane spotting, and I even got to see Qantas' Wunala Dreaming fly overhead the other day. How cool that was. I think the plane itself is rather ugly but it's the only one of its kind so it was interesting nonetheless. And on the walk to campus, you can constantly see them in the skies overhead, and during the day it is common to look skyward and see one of the many Virgin Blue or Qantas jets flying overhead. The other day when I was waiting on the City Kitty, I heard a low rumble and over the horizon came a 747 that had just taken off and was making its slow climb to cruising altitude. It looked like I could just reach out and touch it it was so close. Anyways, just an idea I wanted to get out there. I will miss seeing all the different aircraft overhead at different parts of the day.
