Leaving California

Heading up to cruising altitude on our way home… Wanted to get a picture of San Francisco (beautiful clear day), but too soon to turn electronics back on…

We took off along side a Southwest Air 737 on the left runway. Never seen that before, the other plane was just 2 or 3 seconds ahead of us… We both took off, paralleled each other about 30 seconds then veered off in opposite directions…

Departing Soon….

We got to the airport at 10:30, and barely made it through security and the walk to the gate by the 12:10 boarding time for a 12:51 departure… Landing in San Francisco about 9:40…
