on the hour every hour all night long i was checking the website just had a strange feeling, at 6am the anchorage news comes on and says the earth quakes have stopped and the treat level has gone from red to orange,i wonder how the color blind see all this,
7am we jumped in a cab to the airport for 9.15am flight, checked in cleared security and hopped on board,SAM was looking out the window and says to me look at all the air force planes taking off,i looked out and there was f16 f18 f22 raptors tearing off into the sky and then the captain comes on and says we have just received world that redoubt has erupted and everybody take there seats for takeoff,then we realised there getting the fighter jet to a safe area,
we pushed away and started heading down the taxiway we were looking out at the wings seeing the flaps going to 15degrees we get to the end of the taxi way and make a fast left and then another fast left onto runway 7 left without stopping the engines running full blast we were flying down the runway up up and away,
the pilot comes on and tells us to look out the right window which SAM was sitting at,and there
it was erupting in front of our eyes i pushed SAM down to the floor and got the camera on the moment,what a way to finish a amazing adventure,i feel so sorry for the people of anchorage they have been living in fear of this but if it had to happen let it be our moment,we got back into Minneapolis st Paul to find Denver and new york airports closed due to weather so we got a extra hour together,i just got in the door and SAM just called
