Just a routine evening flight to return home from NYE festivities. Leftover
Champagne, late Chistmas gifts from friends, and a soundly sleeping
passenger. The Signature ramp at CLT was deserted, the traffic light, the
weather warm and the winds calm.

Twinkling city lights gave way to darkened countryside as our runway lights
came into view. I announced our intent to an empty sky with the hope that
my neighbor would open the hangar door. All 3 wheels kissed the grass, then
the ground. The hangar lights were on.
