Title: Chasing the Sunset

Leveling off at forty thousand feet, I engaged the autopilot and leaned back in the captain’s chair.
The flight attendant handed me a steaming cup of coffee, I inhaled, took a sip and settled in for my favorite part of the trip.
Far below, the city lights twinkled in the growing dusk as we chased the sunset over the horizon.

So cool!! Great theme/title and post! Chasing the sunset? Something we do or dream of doing after a perfect day! Reminds me of Jim Croce’s song – Time in a Bottle!!

Thanks for taking part this week, Jo. Your piece reminded me of a wonderful day too, when we had laughed till we cried and chased a sunset.

you make chasing a sunset sounds so magical and how it reduces the monotony of a pilot’s job. what we see as spectacular is just another day at the office for them.

Makes me want to be a pilot. Not for the coffee, but for the sun set.

I agree. I always try to sit by the window when I fly.
