Silence observed
Yes. This went "well" here. NOTAM'ed civil and military - flying safety excempted of course. (The spirit!). With very little planning it was possible here. Domestic taxying, AWACS flying a full procedure, civil photo flight doing his business. All in silence contemplating with us on the ground.
Thank you, guys. Also to those that only got the message airborne and offered to stand off an hour early! Most beautiful clear - but bitterly cold - weather as the funeral service took place 200 miles east of here. RIP - Peter Nielsen.
Just went outside after typing the above. Clear skies.
Moon 45 degree above horizon east south east. Planet below.
And the most beautiful halo around the moon! Strange.
