Steerman at the airport by my house
« on: July 04, 2015, 01:43:06 PM »

Stepped outside my house yesterday as a Steerman flew over and landed at the airport next to my house so I went over to have a look. The pilots were really friendly and I spent some time talking with them.









The last one is me talking to one of the pilots.

Thanks guys. Living next to the airport does have its advantages. Lol. Max, come on over to Texas maybe we can hitch a ride on one of these old planes. Otto, it's good to see you here. All my best to you and your family.

AAH! Great news Mark. Today I have seen something very diferent in the skies over my house, other
than the ocasional mosquito.
It was a Orion flying by very very low.
Those 4 propeller engines make an awesome sound.  :) Sounded like four Spitfires in formation.
I never knew we had Orions flying around here. So this was nice to see.
I didnt get a change to take a photo, but it looked like this...

Hey Mark, nice shots! Only thing I get to hear not see over here are EF-2000s which fly over this house regularly and are way too loud to be fun, even at medium alt. You can always hear them but almost never see them.  :P
