Hitting for the Cycle

In baseball, hitting for the cycle is the accomplishment of one batter hitting a single, a double, a triple, and a home run in the same game.

In July, I flew for the Boeing cycle.

So, one of the highlights of this trip, was Lufthansa's 747-8i. This was the first customer and airplane that I worked on, so saying I was excited to fly on it would be an understatement. That wingtip...

The upper deck was wonderful as usual.


Project #1


...and I met some a fan of my colleague's work!


The engines look fab on that lovely wing


Also fabulous? the views...


One the way back, the Central Cascades provided a stunning welcome home


And the trip was complete with the best Rainier sighting ever!
