I know. That fence is a bummer, but the pics are still ok I guess. Its a nice airport. Two HUGE Gulfstream hangers, a flight school, and 3 non-stop flights to atlanta through comair. Its a nice airport. :)

Nice shots Ben...very nice :)
Are there any classic aircraft or rag and tube on the airfield you haven't showed us?  Anything with more than one wing is welcome by me :)

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

o there isnt.   But 20 minutes away from me there is a junkyard for old planes. They have DC-3's and other oldies.  Next time I go by there I can take some pics and post them. But that might not be for awhile because I dont have a car so its all up to my dad



I hereby start a petition:

DAD:

Ben's been a good boy this week.  PLEASE indulge him and take him out for a day trip so he can take photos of real airplanes on their last legs.

I'll be over that way this weekend, and my dad said probably.  It's probably not as much as you think. Just a few rusty DC-3's. ;)

Must be quite a few Lears over there, I'm guessing? More interesting than my local airport, except for the fact that one of the older areas of the airport was converted into a WWII/Modern aircraft museum. But for the field itself, well... not much more than a couple lears, and a handful of Cessna's. Anyways, great shots Ben!

Later Days,

Brian

Thanks! Yes, tons of Gulfstream's. They do the finishing work on them at my local airport. And we have a few airlines. Not too much though. :)

We don't have any airlines at our local field (that I know of), just mainly personal and small chartered planes. Biggest I've seen there would be Hawker Siddly HS748, I think...


Later Days,
