More GA adventures in New Jersey.

It seems that the three NJ reps for SimV have been out at all of our respective home airports for the weekend taking some wonderful shots. Too bad we couldn't arrange a meet up; the weather was beautiful.

Anyhoo, I swung by Sky Manor yesterday after work to see what was going on. There was quite a bit of activity, though the wind was favoring runway 7 so almost all the takeoff shots are back-lit. Here's some highlights.

The sight of this resulted in a hearty "what the f*ck?" from me. :-?

I was getting a soda when this 337 taxied past. I ran to nab it. :P

The nicest Tri-Pacer I have ever seen.

Washing bugs off I'm assuming?

New one on me.

Next - airborne balloon-chasing!

Nice one James. Glad you're getting some decent weather. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

The nicest Tri-Pacer I have ever seen.

I can only assume you haven't seen too many Tri-Pacers. :P

New one on me.

Looks like a Kitfox. Pretty little things. I see quite a few at Popham.

PS. What's all this about the Navy? It's not too late to change your mind. :o ;)

Thanks Doug. No, I've only noted two different registrations of Pacers/Tri-Pacers/Colts in my years of hanging around airports. And I was flying in one of 'em. :P

That's what everyone's been telling me... ::) :P

very nice shots :)

I'll have to dig up the photos of the pacer/tri-pacer combination that was at the beach city fly-in this year. they were both painted in the same colors and side by side they looked like they were showroom condition :) Very nice
