A few weeks ago we flew ✈️ into Wichita when a tornado 🌪 had touched down in the neighboring town of Andover. It was a rough ride in and 3 passengers got sick 🤢. We were seconds away from diverting and somehow we made it in. Everyone clapped when we landed and shook the Captain's hand.
I was in Louisville during Derby 🐎 👒 and I had no idea it's like Mardi Gras 🍹 🍺 🍸
