More late-season fun at 47N

Postby beaky » Sat Nov 29, 2008 5:45 pm

Did some gliding last weekend, but forgot the SD card for the camera.  :-[

Today was pretty active, though... and a nice few hours' worth of flying. If the weather allows, I may very well solo this season... just have to stop making little mistakes.


Greg made a couple of solo hops today...

This Cozy seems to be a new resident.

An awesome 1954 Cessna 180- what a takeoff this guy made!! Like a rocket!  :o

Just happened to be waiting on the quad on the other side while this pretty Skylane came in...


Image



Almost missed this Twin Comanche.

JP took his wife for a spin in his Aeronca L3.

Cool. Looks like right next to the runway is really the place to be when birds are coming back to the nest.

Some lovely late-season light! Wonderful place, that airfield. What a nice collection of models. The Cozy is a new one for me, looks very funky!

Nice snaps, Sean. I figured you guys were done for the season. That's why I haven't been over there lately.

Yup.

I think I'll be seeing more of it in the future, as the owner tied it down in the south tie-down area after arriving. Not sure if it replaced another plane or not...
