Blades are spinning

On my journey from San Francisco to Sacramento, I had to take a propeller plane - which was kinda scary. I have taken such planes before in my life - more recently a Bangkok Airways flight I think - need to check with Celest on that.

Anyway, I thought I'd better take some pictures with the phone in case I didn't make it. Then someone who picked up the phone in the wreckage would be able to tell that the passender was on the plane (which is like duh! anyway). I guess I didn't get enough sleep at that time anyway. Notice how blue the sky is? Apparently, clouds are banned in California :)


Here is a close-up of the propeller just before I boarded. Just before this, the captain was poking his head into the air-shaft to check up on things - he was also spinning the blades for fun and making the noise - haha, I'm kidding about making the noise.

The flight took about 40 mins and was slightly scary - given the sideways movements that a small plane is subject to. On the way back, I took a bigger plane, probably because there were more passengers.
