Another nightmare business trip
So I have a new customer in Omaha NE.
Monday the 27th I fly out of San Diego connecting Phoenix to Omaha (US Airways). San Diego airport has heavy fog and all morning traffic is delayed. I miss my connection to Omaha and have to wait 6 hrs in PHX Skyharbor for the next flight. Arrive in Omaha at midnight and I have a 8:00 am meeting.
Meeting goes till 7:00 PM and my eyes are rolling in my head...
Wednesday the 29th after working in the customer lab all day I fly the return trip at 6:00 pm. Fog advisory for our 9:30 PM arrival into San Diego. We're within 30 seconds of landing...I can see Petco park...and full throttle abort the landing. Too much fog. 15 minutes later we try a North-Westerly approach that also fails. Captain comes on says LAX and Ontario are also fogged in (B.S.) so we fly back to Phoenix.
I'm now sitting in a hotel in PHX with a return flight tomorrow at 2:00 pm...drinking a Bass Ale posting on Pelican OT. Wish I was home.
