Sunday spotting- Alexandria p.2
Posted: Mon Nov 27, 2006 7:01 pmA nice looking Bonanza waiting to take to the air. I know the pilot, and he was going up to Massachusetts that night in it.
I had to do a double-take on this one. At first, I thought it was a homebuilt, but when I looked up the tail number, it turns out it an extremely old 172. Built 1959. Look how clean it is! It never took off though. Just taxied over from the north hangars to the fueling station. Shame, I'd've loved to see it fly.
A Sharp-looking Cherokee. Note the balloon.
This was a new one on me. A very long Cherokee Six sporting wheel pants on only the nose gear. Anyone know the reason?
Finally, a nice little Cherokee, manufactured in 1966, on short final. Notice the flock of birds in the bottom right corner.
That's it from N85 (or is it?).
Next up, walking around Sky Manor!
