I had the privilege of visiting Flabob Airport in Riverside, CA over Valentine's Day weekend. I got a most excellent shot of a DC-3 at sunset after a pouring rain. In fact it was still raining on me when I took the picture. This is N103NA the "Flabob Express."
You can read more in my blog entry, but here I'll just say, what a neat airport! There are some wonderful things going on there regarding aviation education.
I was there for an AeroScholars facilitator training event. Learned a lot about that program, other aviation education opportunities for youth, and the Flabob Airport itself.
I got to ride in a Piper Clipper and a Marquart MA-5 Charger homebuilt open-cockpit biplane, with some stick time in that.
We got a tour, and I was a kid in a candy store in every hangar.
If this place weren't a bazillion miles away from home, I'd probably be eating at the airport cafe at least once a week.
