Logan had to laugh. Jake couldn’t wait to get to Seattle. He had packed a grip the night before and had the car out and running, while Logan was still locking up. Logan would have taken his time, just to see what Jake would do, but he was as anxious as his friend to make the trip. “Looks like it’s good flying weather,” Jake said as Logan joined him.

“I hate it when I can’t fly myself. We have to go through the security lines...”

“And someone wants to know why you’re in Seattle.”

“Right. Happens too often. People would think we have some reason for going there.”

Jake laughed. “I wonder what will happen when someone figures it out.”

Logan turned on the sporting news and they listened to an account of an NFL player who had been mugged while walking his dog.

“It’s getting worse.”

“I agree. We need to be aware of what’s going on around us all the time.”

They discussed changes they might need to make and soon arrived at the small airport where Logan kept his plane.

It was the second Tuesday in November and this time a snowstorm forced them to turn back. Chantal and Alison were waiting in the lounge area at Boeing Field when Logan had them called to the counter.

“We’re not going to make it. We’ll try next week, or fly commercial.”

“Thanks for letting us know.”

“Once we were overdue, we had to notify the airport there, and you. I’m sorry we didn’t make it.”

“You’re safe. That’s what matters.”

The next Tuesday the four met successfully at the airport and drove over to the nearby Museum of Flight. It was pouring down rain outside as they wandered through the huge museum with its collection of antique and modern airplanes, following the history of flight from the Wright brothers onward. Alison hadn't yet seen the new addition, a six-story steel and glass gallery large enough to display airplanes seemingly "in flight," so they looked at it first, then wandered back into the older part of the building, separating into two groups as they did so.

"I worry when you fly in this weather," Alison told Logan, finally admitting her fear. "Can't you take a commercial jet when it's so bad?"

He frowned at the thought, but acknowledged the possibility. "I may have to. The problem is not the rain here, it's the heavy snowstorms that form frequently over the Rockies and on the plains. But taking a commercial jet is like catching a bus as opposed to driving your own car—the car is more convenient. I hate waiting in airports and trying to fit my time schedule around theirs. And if there's much fog, the big planes are helpless."

"And you aren't?"

"I don't need the length of runway. I can land in places where the big jets can't."

Alison hadn't been thinking; she knew the smaller airlines landed at Paine Field in Everett during foggy weather and bussed their passengers south to the large Seattle-Tacoma airport. Sometimes they were the only flights in or out of the area.
