 |
Deplaning for layover at Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky airport (still dark out) |
 |
Recharging cell phone at airport. | ||||
 |
Approaching front of line for takeoff from Cincinnati. |
 |
Lots of planes behind us; only one runway is open. | ||||
 |
The plane in front of us takes off; we're next. | ||||||
 |
Breaking through some clouds, but more layers above. |
 |
Past 10,000 feet, some blue sky coming into view. |
 |
Lifting up past the clouds into clear blue sky. | ||

Around 30,000 feet up. |

 |
Following highway to the airport while descending further. |
 |
The rest rooms at Will Rogers World Airport, Oklahoma City, are also tornado shelters. | ||||
 |
Delta likes to put up mannequins like this in the terminals; don't you just hate it when they tap you on the shoulder? ;-) |
 |
A last look at the plane in the terminal. |
At the Habana Inn, time to hit the mats!
