Corporate Jet

The fun never stops. I flew in my first Corporate Jet today to Penn State. It's a Citation owned by Northrup Grumman. I went up there for work to participate in a talk by people on my committee CDEW (Committee on Diversity in the Engineering Workforce) to the freshman engineering class at Penn State. Every year, a corporation sponsers them to work on an engineering design project. This year it was Northrup Grumman, and the freshman are going to work on developing new content for EngineerGirl!. At the end of the semester, there's a contest and we'll get to judge the winners. Hooray for free content!

Anyway, the jet seated 6 people comfortably, 9 people not so comfortably. The bathroom stall converts into a seat. It was a pretty quick trip up ~ 1 vs. the 4 hour drive it would've been. They gave us sandwiches and wine on the way back, which was pretty nice.

We flew up to Penn State and and back from the BWI area. I got back to Union Station on an Amtrak train around 10 pm and ended up catching a metro train going the wrong way from where I live. I hadn't been paying attention to the signs nor the stops until a long way the wrong way. I did eventually get home after I figured out I needed to get on a different train. Long day.
