Hi Gang!,
Well here in Northeast Tennessee the leaves are starting to change. I
was up in a Piper Cherokee Sunday and the colors are starting to show. I
would say that in the next 2 weeks or so that the colors will be great
throughout my little region of the world. TRI is the biggest airport around
here with numerous smaller fields. Yall come on down and check out the Great
Smokey Mountains.

The best leaf peeping I've ever had was a low level flight up from

Danbuy to
Springfueld MA. I flew at 500 feet above the trees, and every hill was

a new
burst of color - it was spectacular. It wasn't even for leaf peeping,

it was
aviation related. I was going to visit somebody who had set up a space
shuttle
simulator at the middle school (he wanted some C++ programming done) I

just
got lucky with the time of year and the weather.

Ah, my hometown. Since Springfield has no airport, where did you land?

And
do you happen to remember which middle school?

snipped.....

You guys are bringing back memories for me. I was born in Chicopee
and spent my formative years in Agawam. Although I only learned to
fly two years ago, the seeds were there very early. I used to spend
my summer days riding my bike to Bowles Field. I can picture the view
from the fence like it was yesterday, even though it was actually over
forty years ago.
