This photo reminds me of what happened to me one night in a United Shuttle 737, a few minutes after taking off from John Wayne. Pretty wierd seeing the rising moon appear to move UP and out of sight, and then reappear from below. The pilot got on the intercom a few minutes later, after it was apparent that no one realized what had happened. He said something like "sorry for those evasive manuevers, we had an issue with some nearby air traffic." Right at the end of the flight, me and the Vietnam vet sitting next to me bought a couple of the small bottles of scotch for the pilot and copilot, to be delivered, of course, after completion of post flight. ;)
It was a 737-300. Do we know if it was sold directly to them from Boeing, or was it an older plane that they leased from someone?
