About

My name is Mike Hillwig and I live in Salem, MA with my pug, Reggie. I'm a DBA (database administrator) with a high tech company. Originally from the Pittsburgh area, I moved to Providence in December 2004 and then to Boston in November 2005. March of 2008 brought me to Salem on the Massachusetts north shore.

What else do you want to know? I'm an aviation geek, a foodie, have some tattoos and live with Multiple Sclerosis. This year, I'm in my first season singing Baritone with the Boston Gay Men's Chorus. If there is anything else you'd like to know, just ask. I'm hardly shy.

Go Round!

One of the cool things about living where I do is watching the planes take off from Logan. It’s a little more rare to see them land on that same runway.

Today, I saw something I’ve not seen at Logan before, and it’s been years since I’ve seen this happen. A Lufthansa A330 was coming in for a landing when he throttled up and started climbing. He did what’s called a “go round” meaning that it aborted the landing and went around for another pass.

A little later I watched it come in again where it did land this time. It was pretty cool to see.
