Flying...or not...

We made it to the airport in Fargo about 1.5 hours early, like good passengers do. The 95 degree heat today was a bit overwhelming for man and machine. We loaded the plane on time, waited for the usual things to be put in place, and began to move. We made it onto the runway, then smelled a burning odor. We continued, were ready to go full throttle and start our adventure! And....then the cabin filled with smoke thanks to an air conditioner over heating. I've never heard a smoke alarm on an airplane before. Something new every day! So, we changed flights to tomorrow morning (since we would've missed our next flight had we waited for the problem to be fixed and will actually get to Portland earlier by taking off later...I know, figure that one out). So, our anticipation again builds! Wish us luck tomorrow!
