Ray and I were going meet up in Burbank for some mexican food, but the weather did not cooperate.

Just left Vegas after a 2 hour delay for weather...

So I thought it might be cool to track the pilot!

We were 'rocking and a' rolling coming through that rain south of Vegas. We kept the FA's down for 15 minutes after liftoff and by the time it smoothed out, there was only 10-15 minutes before we started descent: Too little time to serve. So, we let the folks up for just a minute and then cleaned up the cabin early and seated everyone else. The descent was not bad. The San Fernando valley was gorgeous under high overcast. We landed on RWY 8 in BUR close to max landing weight for that runway -at night, nearly two hours late:ray .

Thanks for the effort Mark. After some fast food I crashed!

Hey Ray... Was cool tracking a flight where I knew the Captain!

Then to see your description of what I was seeing on the tracker was neat.

Would you want to give us a couple of flights, and let the members track you? If you had time, you could do a pilot report on what we were seeing on our screen.
