How I celebrated the Anniversary

Being a non-pilot, but a certified avaition enthusiast, most of my
activites were unfortunately restricted to ground menuvers.

Went out to one of the local airports (EYQ) here in houston to watch
them fly and snap a couple of pics of T & G's.

Also watched a whole lot of Discovery Wngs programs between honey
do's. Caught several of the the History and Discovery channel aviation
related programs. Then just finished watching the Spirit of Saint
Louis.

Tomorrow hopefully will get out to the Big Airport (IAH) for a little
plane sportting and then finish up at my local hangout (DWH).

All in all it's been quite a celabration.

Seasons greeting to one and all and please remember to fly
safe...........

I returned a few hours ago from my flight to celebrate the 100th
anniversary.

A few years ago I had an idea for a flight I wanted to take but never
motivated to do it.
Thanks in a good part to a post in rec.piloting asking what was planned to
celebrate the anniversary.
I thought to do it on the 17th. With the weather in New York looking very
bad for tomorrow I took the flight today.

Today I landed at all 11 public paved airports on Long Island in New York in
a round robin flight.

It was a fun day of flying and a tribute and a Thank You to all the aviators
and people of
aviation who have made it possible for me to FLY !!
