I did about 1/550,000th of the Application trail once. (about 20 feet IIRC)
But I was much younger then...


You got farther than I did, I once saw a sign for it.

That right foot position, known as "the pig snout," is treacherous. Many an ankle have been turned there, my friend. Glad you made it back okay.

Congrats! You have me beat. Closest I’ve been is over the top at FL310 headed south. Glad you got to visit your son. Tell him thanks for his service!
