It figures...

So today I went to work as usual...not a bad day, kind of long after having 4 days off for the long weekend, but not too bad.

I'm just getting back outside to cut some grass after last break and I here a familiar sound! Radials!

Looking to the sky I caught a glimpse of 4 aircraft!

(1) Cessna 337 Skymaster! :) (Push me, pull me)
(1) AT-6 Texan (Yellow in color)
(2) unidentified, they looked like they may have been scaled down spits.. :) Pretty neat looking!

They then proceeded to make some large circles in tight formation and ended with a low level pass (little above the trees) right past my building! :) what a wonderful sight and sound! Almost shed a tear it's been so long since I heard a radial..:(

Unfortunately my camera battery was in need of a recharge last night, so the camera which I ordinarily carry with me, or leave in my truck 99% of the time, was sitting at home in it's dock charging... :(

To ALL:

In this instance, heaping scorn and shame on Jared is perfectly acceptable and appropriate, to remind him of his utter lack of a sense of duty and responsibility to his fellow SimV members.

That's too bad Jared, that's the reason I always have one charged set of batteries! ;D

BTW, a 337 goes over my house pretty low a few times a week and I have NO clue what it is... :P

Oh well - maybe next time! ;) But to be sure it doesn't happen again - you'll have to have an extra medication to boost the common sense organs... ;) as such behaviour is most unacceptable! :o ;D

Well, since it is one of those newfangled ones, I'd have to buy a special rechargeable battery, that costs 50+ USD. Not much to some, but to me it is quite a bit right now.

Now here's the rest of the story....

The four planes were here for a military flyby for one of our soldiers killed in Iraq.

Why they would send WWII planes instead of modern fighters such as the F-16 he was training on I don't know......

Oh well, I would much rather see old warbirds instead.. :)
