Today I earned my wings! We flew for the first time today, taking a short 2 hour flight over the Salton Sea.

Take off!

| All in all, a good flight |
This was just a test flight; the crew basically made sure the instruments were performing properly while we newbies tried out our "air legs" (and stomachs). We're finally going to start some real work tomorrow, taking air samples and running the MASTER transects. So hang on -- I have a feeling it will be a bumpy ride.
