The Logbook · Runways

What the job looks like
from the flight deck.

This is the other half of the log: Dan's side. Not the Airstream, not the highway: layovers, the cities a 747 cargo route actually touches, and what an irregular international rotation does to a normal week.

Heather's the one who plans the road trips. This is Dan's own logbook entry: the runways instead of the highways.

Between flights

Layovers

The job itself

The Long Haul

Life on an irregular cargo rotation, international routes, and what a "normal week" means when it isn't one.

Crew Notes

Gear, routines, and habits from decades in a cockpit: the same precision that shows up in every Preflight checklist here.

First posts coming soon

Runways is just getting started. In the meantime, meet the crew or head over to Highways for the Airstream side of the log.
