It was a warm, sunny day in the northeast today. Took the evening to have dinner at Sky Manor with my buddy and to spot for a bit. Quite a bit of excitement going on.

The hot air balloon operation launches on the other side of the threshold.

Having some fun.

That's what we pilots call air conditioning.  ;) ;D

Neat shots. Especially the one of the taildragger departing towards the hot air balloons.  8-)

Good to see that Courier has started its season... if it weren't for some stuff I had to do, I probably would have been out there today m'self.  :(

Woulda loved the company. my buddy had to split after we ate to go to his girlfriend's house. My only companion was Smokey, that tabby that creeps around the airport. :)

Thanks..........never knew that......out here we have lots of Coyotes but no Courier made by Rans......that tail end looks quite like a Decathlon..........
