I would like to know if there are any dead head flights that are available to Seattle, WA. I understand that there are times that private owned aircraft and corporate owned jets do take passangers for a fee rather than fly at a loss. Please advise me at your earliest conveinence.
Thank You
Roger

Last night a very low-flying commercial airliner buzzed our house in Myersville. It seemed like it was only a few hundred feet off the ground. Why was it flying so low? You could even here it throttle up as it flew over.
