Hi, I just read Charles Finn’s column On Flying Out of Redmond. I can’t find a direct email for him, but I just wanted to pass on that I thought it was beautiful and really captured how those early a.m. flights feel.

I’m unfortunately guilty of being one of the fly swatters on their iPhone. (I’m writing this on my phone.)

Thank you.
