Scenes From a Vacation: All Good Things…

Like all things, vacations must come to an end. Here’s my final shot of the trip: the Air Canada Dash 8 that we took from Hartford back to Accordion City:

The Ginger Ninja doesn’t like flying in general and wasn’t all too keen on boarding a propeller-driven plane, but I reassured her that propellers worked out quite well for the first half of the entire history of powered flight.

Besides, the plane looked better put-together and more sturdy than Bradley’s Terminal B.

They’re slower than jet-powered craft, but speed isn’t always everything, if the rather luxurious service offered by Porter Airlines is any indication.
