Trials and tribulations of a 30 year old on a long and winding road. I still wonder sometimes about the outcome of my still verdictless life. I like boys too, get over it. Airplanes? Yeah, I like em. ✈ The Boeing 747 is an icon for me. I have been fascinated by it ever since I acquired my first library card and was able to read about the “Queen of the Skies” A little side note: Obviously the photos I post are not entirely mine. I post them because I enjoy them. Proper credit always goes to the photographer/source. If you have a problem with that, simply let me know, and I will remove it.Tumblr (3.0; @flyhighr)http://www.flyhighr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/544e731c9be7a2b909a1744f8a16fd76/tumblr_mn60lxSDOt1qct2q5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The view was stellar, the surgery successful #highlandhospital #backproblems (at Highland Hospital East 7)</p>http://www.flyhighr.com/post/51010970845http://www.flyhighr.com/post/51010970845Tue, 21 May 2013 16:22:45 -0400highlandhospitalbackproblems<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/869298e755c42898efa43c22ff6defd0/tumblr_mmpqdsVRBH1qct2q5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Love these furry little ones (at hangar 566)</p>http://www.flyhighr.com/post/50306728375http://www.flyhighr.com/post/50306728375Sun, 12 May 2013 21:20:16 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ae4f4d6366aac145ebd28f521e8121bd/tumblr_mmjyj8YGSU1qct2q5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Where immortal spirits reign, there we shall meet again #mthope (at Mt.
