Darn. I was a passenger with my friend flying (first time as a
passenger in 3+ years). I tried to get him to fly the ILS into KNUQ but
he didn't want to. Damn, we could have been in the pattern with those
planes at the very same time. Instead we were in the pattern with a
mighty PA28-161 and a C152 at PAO. ;-) (Note, I'm a big man flying
PA28-181's ;-) )

One of my last solo practice sessions for my checkride I flew from
Orlando Executive (KORL) to Leesburg (KLEE) to shoot some landings.
When I tuned in the CTAF, I heard "Catalina final for 23, Leesburg."
Sure enough a PBY was landing and I watched from the air. About 3 trips
around the pattern later, they took off and headed back to Lakeland
(Sun-n-Fun was underway). What a great sight. I really like those old
warbirds, and seeing one form the air is tremendous!
