Apr 12th “A LONG SHOT…”

With a PHOTO  as the above… taken from an AIRPLANE  –  – looks like the children put all of their  “TOYS” on the  kitchen    table – –  and set-up an arrangement – – that – – this  kind of looks  like  – –  this – –   just might be … the local AIRPORT!

( click on PHOTO – – –  to enlarge – – and see  – – up close )

If you did enlarge – the above  PHOTO…  then you will  be able to see the smoke coming up – – from the Bar-be-Que pits –  on the right side of this  day’s scheduled events.  On the right side you will be able to see that there is an area for you to pull in  – – with your large rigs  – – that you will be able to find the location – – –  for your FAMILY or  GROUP  with whatever kind of CAMPER  – – –   that you will use for the whole WEEK-END  of activities!

This  – – LOOKS like an even  LONGER SHOT of the AIRPORT area and how and where all of the VISITORS – – are finding a place for their over night stay  – – or a nice place to tie-down their Airplane.   There is a local MOTEL with in a very short drive – – as several of the PILOTS  – go together  for a run into town – –  there  will  always  be  some little item – – you remember – –  that you must have – – –  – – you just forgot to pack!

Try  to see if you can find me – – standing  and ready to  start serving the “SNOW CONES” – – in he hot weather – –  a “SNOW CONE” in your favorite flavor – –  or you might just want to try a  “SNOW CONE”   – – and have it several colors mixed together!

Apr 10th “Cameras – Catch the Action!”

For the  “ACTION” – – get those CAMERAS   fixed on the “PILOTS and  PLANES” – –   don’t forget to  LOOK UP and catch the “SKY-DIVERS” – –

To have the bleachers set up – – on either side of the  Airport   “Taxiway and Tie Down”  area – – sure was a good idea – – as there were individuals doing “SHOWS” just for  FUN – GAMES and PRIZES – –  –   and  there was a special  “SHOW” – – that I was  not informed before hand  – would take place – –

A Pilot..dressed like an old lady  – you would have thought that she was at least “80 years old” – – started to take off in a small aircraft – – made a few circles – -look like she didn’t know what to do  – – much less FLY a Plane – –  the  “Announcer, GENE PATRICK”  – – made the announcement to stay off the  “Taxiway and Tie Down”  area – – and for someone to come to this old LADY’s aid – –  lots of people  called    to her   to pull the PLANE over – – would you believe the old LADY got out of the PLANE and the PLANE was rolling slowly all by itself…

Then …  the announcer told the old LADY to catch her PLANE and PARK IT! – – Well.. did she ever look silly running after the PLANE –  in circles and everybody laughing and some like myself calling for someone to go to her aid … and  – – DO SOMETHING – before she has an accident… I even looked for my son to  – – get out here and do something – I was scared!

Well… just as fast as all this had started – – the little old LADY – – jumped into the PLANE – – as it was going – – and just like   someone who knows what they are doing – – she turned the PLANE   –  and headed for the runway – – everyone watching – –  and before you knew what was going on – –  the PLANE was up and off the ground – –  and into the AIR – – “there she goes”   – – and then the ANNOUNCER – – let the public in on the “SHOW” – – telling everyone that this was a special arrangement –  – to be for the entertainment of all attending – – that everything was done with safety in mind – – as that –  this  PILOT was really an INSTRUCTOR  – –  and knew exactly what was going on at all times – – that the PLANE used in this type of stunt – – is only used for this type  of  demonstration – – and in training purposes.

Never the less – – it sure looked like a situation that needed an expert to take charge – –  and my heart sure – – got a full work out – – just watching.

“BLUE SKIES and HAPPY FLYING for all our FRIENDS that enjoy   doing  –  –  that which – –   all the rest of the World – – wishes they could do – – and –   want to  have  –  that same special  –   FUN    just  FLYING!”

Apr 9th “NEW Look – from OUTER SPACE!”

“Didn’t  I tell you… they were getting Al’s  “Experimental Plane” ready – – and that is how fast  – – Al can go – – his speeds – – if you are not looking – – you just missed him – – FLY BY!”

If … you are not up-to-date on your  “Airplanes” – – and You were looking up – – and saw Al in the AIR – – and zoom on by – – You would have thought – – the “Aliens” are here – and You were  and are the  very first to see …   how they are coming in!   They are FLYING those NEW type of PLANE with the propeller in the rear!
