from the cockpit.

Last week, on the way out to San Jose, our flight lost one of it's generators. This forced us to turnaround somewhere over the Western Rockies and head back to Denver. You can see the flight path below:

While the flight was less than pleasant, I'm not writing this to bitch about United. Once back in Denver, they brought us a new plane and had us to San Jose only a few hours late. I guess that's the perk of breaking down near a hub.

If you haven't see it yet, check out FlightAware. I'm a bit of a flight-tracking website snob, but FlightAware is the most comprehensive and accurate service I've seen to date. You can follow individual flights, view traffic around an airport, or even punch in the tail number of a celebrity plane. (Check out the Discussions area for that.) And, I'll admit it: I didn't find this one on my own. Thanks, Paige!
