Goodbye, Wichita Falls, we hardly knew ya.

8:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 3

Wonderful start to holiday. Diverted from DFW to Wichita Falls. The pilot did a good job of going around the thunderstorms as we landed in WF. About 90 minute delay on the ground with 6 other planes. We guzzled some gas. The reason we were diverted is that we had less than an hour of fuel and the holding pattern was 90 minutes. Oops! We were at the air base so we got to watch the fighter jets take off – some vertical and 6G turns. There’s something exciting (really!) about being sealed up in a tin tube under the Texas sun. Over all, the people on the plane were nice.
