Today’s flight is brought to you by "AeroSock™—the only aviation-grade clothing line guaranteed to mysteriously vanish in-flight and reappear days later in the other pilot’s luggage. AeroSock: because nothing says 'teamwork' like sharing socks at 10,000 feet."

We took off from Delhi, the Buffalo loaded and spirits high—Cropduster already searching for ramen spots and Lani and Kai settled with their vet-approved meals. One clean run west, skimming over Amber Fort, Jaipur, Jantar Mantar, and the vast walls of Chittorgarh as we swapped radio jokes and let Rajasthan’s history scroll beneath our wings.

No stops until Udaipur. After landing, we headed to Bao Udaipur for ramen—Cropduster dove into a fiery miso bowl, I went light and savory. Lani and Kai lounged by our table, perfectly content with water and their usual food, eyes alert but not the least tempted by human fare.

As dusk fell on the lakes, our crew’s day ended the only way it should: good company, remarkable views, and a shared meal—dogs included, even if their bowls tick all the boxes with the vet instead of the chef.
