Little Rock

 

After a quick fuel stop, we headed out to our second stop, Little Rock, AR. Along the way we saw some really nifty cloud formations. They were thin and patchy, but overall formed an undulating fabric of fluffy white. Sort of like sand dunes, or a rolling ocean…

As we were on final approach, we got to see an enormous train yard outside the city. I’ve seen train yards before, but this is probably the most impressive example I’ve seen.

It was well past time for lunch by now, so we stopped in at The Flight Deck restaurant for a quick lunch while the plane was being topped off. The place was pretty empty, but the food was tasty and the service terrific. Besides, how can you go wrong with a place that serves the Greatest Cheeseburger in Aviation History?

No, really:

And you thought I was kidding

So T ordered that; I had the Garden Sandwich, which was quite delicious.

After lunch T confirmed the weather was holding so we left shortly thereafter, but not without a parting shot of the beautiful hangar and flags flying at half-staff (in the real world, former President Gerald Ford died on December 26)
