Before I go to bed on Easter night, I think it's important we remember Trans American Flight 209, which had an emergency landing on this day in 1980. After the crew had been overcome with food poisoning, a passenger who happened to be an ex-Air Force fighter pilot and a stewardess landed the plane in Chicago with the help of the auto-pilot, an air traffic control specialist, and the fighter pilot's former commanding officer. Reportedly, a passenger who happened to be a doctor also provided assistance. Miraculously, all passengers and crew survived. It was just luck that Air Force vet Ted Stryker happened to be on that plane. This was a big deal for those of us of age in 1980 and many cultural references came out of the incident.
Not sure if you're joking or not, but yes it was a TransAmerican plane. It's a big pretty white plane with red stirpes, curtains in the windows and wheels and it looks like a big Tylenol!
"What was it they had for dinner that night?" "Well, we had a choice of steak or fish." "Yes, yes, I remember...I had the lasagna."
The crew was so overcome by food poisoning that they were incapacitated? Wild times. Weak stomachs. Ahhh. The 80's.
You could fly airplanes during the day, and then drag bill Waltons carcass up and down the court at night for money. It was a different time.

I started playing Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild for the first time in 4 years yesterday. I forgot how beautiful the game is.
