A Turbulent Departure from Indianapolis (IND)

This video shows the takeoff of Delta Airlines Flight 2623 from Indianapolis International Airport (IND) to Atlanta (ATL).  It was delayed at least five hours from its original departure because of storms and most importantly, a co-pilot seat adjuster malfunction. 

After takeoff, it was the bumpiest ride in a plane since I moved to the Gulf Coast, in which I was heading by the way that day concluding the Northern Indiana 2023 weekend trip.

Parallel Departure from ATL

We took off from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL) with a “parallel departure”.  This means there is a second plane that took off at the same time my plane took off on a different, adjacent runway.  Look closely for that in this short video.   

It was the start of my second out of two flights north on Friday, May 5, 2023 with this particular flight heading for Indianapolis (IND).  It was also the first round of flights for me since Michiana 2020 (September 14 if you’re curious).

Hello, 9th Gen iPad!

There is a NEED for an iPad tablet in my life.  For the first time since 2009 when I bought the 5th generation iPod Nano, I bought an Apple MacIntosh device.  This is the 9th generation (2021 originally released) iPad, and I show you a few features that comes with this gadget.

There is a special announcement during this video that involves a visit to my parent’s house during the May 5-7, 2023 weekend.  

The Astronomical Events of March 2023

There were THREE different astronomical events in the evening sky during March 2023.

  1. Venus and Jupiter “kiss” conjunction of March 1 (was too late to capture the “kiss” effect)
  2. The Venus “evening star” directly above the crescent moon on March 23 (was too overcast to capture the event the day it occurred)
  3. The alignment of Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Uranus, Mars and the Moon of March 28 (was in general too overcast to capture them all plus Jupiter and Mercury were setting, Uranus was invisible anyways)

There were flaws due to tardiness and of course, excessive cloud cover.  However, I did my best to capture them all and share them here on this channel.
