10 January 2009 - 15:30Where does your inspiration come from?

Daniel Patrick Kessler

On a business trip in Oct, I spent the weekend in Paris.  While there I bought painting from an art student – on the right above.  After a small amount of research, it seems clear where his/her inspiration came from.  On the left is a painting by Daniel Kessler, a Washington DC base artist.  Agree?

29 November 2008 - 14:50Delta Flagship Route, DL1 JFK-LHR

Typically, airline reserve flight number “1” for their flagship route.   After obtaining several Heathrow slots from Air France, Delta inaugurated DL1 from JFK to LHR (London Heathrow).  Recently I had the opportunity to travel on DL1.   For me, the über aviation geek, it was quite enjoyable.
