Here's Sel in the elevator up to the check in counter and in line.
Thanks to Priority Access status, she got to jump in the short line and check in right away. That gave me plenty of time to look up her flight on the Flight Aware website. American #1400 was on it's way.
About 10 minutes after she took off, her plane turned left a little sooner then usual and pointed east. Here's her plane crossing the El Toro Y where the 5 and 405 join together. This meant her plane would fly closer to the house than Anthony's flight the day before which had made a much wider left turn.
And just as planned, at about 18,000 feet, her plane flew directly over the backyard. That's her twin engine Boeing 757. She was seated on the left side in seat 26A. If she pressed against the glass she might have gotten a glimpse of the house to see Mom and I waving.
That little spec is her plane just beyond our tallest tree in the backyard.
The map below confirms her location right after she passed over us. The house is located due east from the El Toro Y by about 8 miles.
A little while later she crossed into Arizona.
Here's her plane crossing Nebraska.
And finally confirmation of touchdown just 3 and half hours later.
