How many times has this happened to you ?
Last thursday afternoon I stood next to my truck in Yonkers and looked up to see a Virgin Atlantic 747 full thrust climbing up and away east bound, must have just left KFK or Newark.
I stared hard and some guy next to that said "Whats up Pat ?"
"Nothing ..... Just wish I was on that"
Every time I drive past Newark and see a VA or BA plane taking off or waiting on the tarmac I get the same homesick feeling.

But I often pass through ORD, and when I see a London flight posted in the C Terminal I get all chocked up.

Don't bother, it's been raiining here pretty much constantly since around the beginning of May. Save your heartfelt thoughts till some better weather arrives and the way it's going it may not be till 2009

I often see the BA non stop to Heathrow fly over the ballpark downtown when the roofs open for games, but I can't say that I get all misty eyed.

I flew on it to return home at Christmas last year, my first visit back since moving here. The neck did straighten a little when I boarded and heard all those cheery English accents for the first time in best part of a year... They should play Land of Hope and Glory or something just before landing at Heathrow.
