Captain J. Gordon
Today, I returned to Atlanta from St. Croix!! On this leg, the “first officer” was at the controls because I recently learned that the Captain doesn’t do both legs of the flight. With that being said, for my return legs home, I will switch the camera to first officer mode!! Flying in first officer mode is a little challenging because it’s not what I’m used to. The view is different which causes me to be distracted a little. I still do pretty good as far as controlling, but I’d prefer the Captain seat. The “first officer” greased the landing. “He” had a better landing in Atlanta than I did in St. Croix. A lesson from that is, try to overcome obstacles and challenges. Try not to be scared of unfamiliar things, even though it’s kind of natural. Anyway, I hope you all had a very great day. As always, I’ll see you in the skies!!
