Yikes! We were at the Indy airport in plenty of time, enjoying Harry and Izzy's for lunch and even a little spot of shopping before hitting our gate.
When shall I learn to stop feeling smug, as the flight to O'Hare at the next gate was delayed 20 minutes for some repair to the plane. We boarded and, not even a full flight, we waited. And waited. And waited. Finally the captain came on the speaker to say that we were having some small maintenance on the left wing. Twenty minutes later another announcement that the little rubber part that helps us land was being totally replaced. I saw the guy up on the little Genie cherry picker just to my left.
Rather than leaving at 2:41 for an hour and twenty minutes layover at Dulles before catching our flight to Vienna we now have less than an hour.
"Of course you'll make your connecting flight," say the flight attendants. Me, I'm not so sure. Time will tell, and I hope to hell they got a wicked tail wind to push this puppy even faster east so that we have little stress making our next connection.
PS - 4:30 and had we left on time we should be landing now. Not sure where we are right now but it's probably still over Ohio.
