Not much related to flying, I know, but last Friday I had the opportunity to attend the Change of Command ceremony for Old Ironsides. (The new Captain is an longtime friend of my son.)
What a privilege, and a chance to participate in this new link in the unbroken chain of her commanders and this wonderful piece of our naval history and tradition.
Even the rain (which screwed us out of Thurs. nite's Red Sox game) held off and allowed the ship's company which had to stand outside the tent to remain dry.
I'm confident she's in good hands, and that the tradition will go forward under Sean's command.
