| Name | Cade T |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was sitting on the Tarmac at Reagan National Airport. I'm not sure which runway we were on. I was on American Flight 445, waiting to take off. We had left the gate and were waiting on other planes. I was on the right side of the plane Row 13, window seat. I was looking straight out the window, on the right side of the plane. I could see buildings, but do not know what they were. |
