My buddy Chris was visiting Seattle but was stuck in the arrivals line at the airport.  I was waiting to pick him up but, since it was taking longer than expected, I was checking out some other movements.  An Everts MD-83 was scheduled out of Boeing Field.  The weather was not great, and I didn’t know when Chris would finally get through immigration, but I figured I would give it a go.  Sadly for Chris, the MD-83 got moving faster than him.  It was on its way long before he finally got out.  I had plenty of time to get back to SEA to pick him up.
