November 21, 2008 -- Lunch in New Hampshire!

Starring Captain Rob Russo

his brother Chris (he's "special")

and executive chef Bod (riding bitch).

We took out "Zero Delta Kilo" a single propeller plane from Bridgeport, CT (The Big City of Dreams) Siksorsky Aiport in search of good eats.

Flying instrument Flight Rules (navigating by instrument/radio only) Rob flew us up to Hartford and around Boston.

We passed blue rivers

and rivers of gold

using GPS to guide us to hamburgers.

After 1h 22 mins, we finally touched down in Nashua, NH! We ate, drank and were merry.

Before flying home, Rob needed to fix the passenger door, which we realized was broken mid-flight. It was cold as shit outside so Chris decided to wait in the car plane

Rob managed to fix the door, but shortly after take off, we found out that it was not closed properly.

That meant the 6 degree air outside was getting sucked into our pressurized cabin. In the back of the plane, beyond the reach of the heaters, Chris turned into a popcicle.

In the cockpit, Rob was unphased as usual, and continuted to send text messages to John McCain.

Coming home, we passed some more mindblowingly boring CT scenery.

But before landing, Rob pulled two dive bomb manuevers that nearly gave Bod a heart attack (we dropped 1000ft in ten seconds).

Getting closer to the ground, we were still in shock from our near-death experience

but enjoying a pleasant sunset over the water.

We're lucky we didn't get killed on this landing
