Goldengirl, I have zero memory of knowing anything about where I was going, why, etc. No idea so can't answer those questions.
I can think of friends that are pilots, oh but one is deceased and he took me and my two sisters on our first plane ride of our lives. I sat in the front seat by him.
Then there's the Naval pilot that was in one of my sister's weddings. I think he flies for Delta, now. No contact in decades that I know of.
Then there's a very close bud of my other sister and her hubby is a retired AF pilot and now I think flies for Southwest. Again, no contact but can ask both sisters if there's any news with either of them.
What I do remember is this business, no-nonsense feeling of being glad our friend was piloting, and it felt "right" as if this had been done before. I felt like "well it better happen, and they better allow it. It's what we do..." sorta thing. No arrogance, just that I had a high confidence level he was going to have his request granted.

Did it feel like you were visiting and coming home, or was this a permanent trip? Do you remember what kind of items you were packing? Any idea of who the pilot friend could be?
