This is looking good as my iPad wallpaper

Oh wow, very flattered thank you

Evening at KDED tonight. Photo doesn't do it justice, you could just see the clouds flattening, coming down in layers and folding

Got a fun ride (and a good amount of stick time) today in a Bellanca 150S, central NJ.

Snapped this one today at the home field

Shoulda tried to get a Skyhawk in there too.

That could be one over the runway...looks like a refueling probe on the front of the 60's. Air Force pave hawks. I worked them at moody. I was the first troop to install the new aux fuel tanks (read blue prints, drilled holes, etc.). I was nervous.

Is that the neighbors Funk in the background?

It sure is!! well was, maybe, he had somebody to come look not sure what happened.

I saw it flying Wednesday night around 8, wasn't sure who was at the controls. Wonder if Tammy's card goes with the plane!

Lol!! He flew it for a bit, after 8 was Andy, unfortunetly I had to turn down the opportunity to take it up

Yes sir!

It is Skyhawk, Blackhawk, Blackhawk and Tomahawk!

Neato...I've flown a tomahawk and skyhawk, and have a few logged as a passenger in the HH-60. Those were my birds on that combat rescue show on discovery channel, or one of those channels. Neat show, all about the PJ's at moody. I recognized the birds and a few faces.

I did a sunset flight out to Fishers Island 0B8 with a friend yesterday. I HIGHLY recommend it! Just walk across the airport (look left, right, then left again...depending on the winds) and you're at the beach. It's pretty amazing.

That's the end of one of the runways on the right...and the beach on the left!

Looking back at the plane from that same place (ish)

Looking east. The runway is on the left.

Look at that parking job!

Beautiful day in Destin Florida.

No fair! Any picture take out from between the wings of a biplane is automatically too cool!

Nice, what kind of camera are you using?

Those are from my HTC One actually.

Next time you go let me know and I'll join you. I fly out of WST.

We were considering dropping into WST just to say we hit RI, but we decided to stay on the beach a little longer instead . What's the deal on the landing fee there? It says it's charged to non-RI registered airplanes. How do they collect?

Waiting out the weather in Williston, FL X60

 

[One Short]

Somewhere over West Virginia, two weeks ago. I don't normally get above the clouds but that day the clouds were on the ground. The smokestacks coming out the fog was sort of surreal and in the second picture the clouds reminded me of a pair of swans.

You know, I really have no idea how that works. I'm pretty sure if you taxi over to Dooney's on the south side of the field you don't get charged...? I'll have to ask next time I see the airport manager.

That is awesome!

Lets see..

1. Taking off from FD51. 20 foot wide runway and windy Florida Keys make that experience very special

2. Shooting ILS 07L to minimums at Embry-Riddle's C172 NAVIII sim
3. Doing some supersecret work at the same location

Speaking of the supersecret stuff, if you are willing to spend half a day (4-5 hrs) at ERAU Daytona Beach, you can get 0.5-0.6 sim IMC and 3-4 approaches towards your currency and fly sim for the Great Bright Future + get paid $150-$250 for it - drop me a pm

In the project, funded by the Federal Aviation Administration and sponsored by the MITRE Corporation, instrument-rated pilots from central Florida will conduct approaches and landings using a Level 6 Cessna flight simulator that can replicate low-visibility conditions.
[...]
The purpose of the research is to see if precision approaches normally used to land on longer runways can be used for landing at the shorter and narrower runways found at small airports.In the study, pilots of small planes will simulate GPS-guided approaches down to the minimum altitude they can fly to in poor visibility and land using various simulated runway and lighting conditions.The project will help researchers evaluate different runway and lighting conditions at smaller airports and assess the feasibility of letting the GPS instruments guide small planes to lower altitudes in conditions of poor visibility.

You'll be tired and as current keeping those needles centered as it gets

Interesting history, thanks for posting. That is an old photo hanging on the wall of the FBO building in Stanton Field, KSYN in Minnesota. I simply took a picture of the picture with my camera.
