She's a beauty all right.
Hal's only seen her once or twice before, and even a well-traveled guy like him has never seen anything quite like her.

"Aerie One, this is flight GL-1, requesting permission to come aboard."
Hal settles into a cruising speed a few feet above the right wing and within a couple yards of the back passenger door. And about 30,000 feet above the ground, but that bothers Hal even less than it does Aerie One.
The windows along the sleek jetliner are all dark just now, but if she's in the air, he figures Barbara must be inside. After all, if the Aerie One was his, he'd never pass up a chance to take her up.
