Two of the presidential 747s, one of them having the call sign Air Force One, so Bush was onboard, at Prestwick airport.

Also, a Chinook just flew over my house (not a plane, but I thought I'd tell you anyway).

Two Blackhawks today doing manoeuvres over our town. I have pics, but I think since everyone knows how those things look like, posting them will not be necessary.

Try a Sopwith Camel replica and Piper Pawnee although the Pawnee isn't very unusual around here this time of year. We have a big aerial application center about ten miles away. Too bad I was busy at the time. I've seen the Sopwith replica in the hangar at the local airport but never been around when the guy was flying it to get a close look.

I saw a CH-146 yesterday, and a CH-149 last week.
Those are about the only fancy contraptions I seeing flying around here.

Like every summer I saw a Ju-52 flying over my house several times. Some weeks ago I saw an AN-2 biplane.
Both are doing sightseeing flights. My lucky neighbor got
a cockpit flight with the AN-2 for his birthday.

I saw a bird, and it pooped on my pony.  That made me mad, so I tried to poop on the bird, but was incredibly unsucessful.
