someplace in these pine trees is the end of the runway......
Drives me crazy sometimes. We see the aircraft flying west along the beach,
banking north and then turning east on final. They can go over the lake behind our house (runway 07R) or across the street over the bayou (runway 07L). Every once in a while someone decides to fly right down the treeline behind the house and all we see is an aircraft blocked by pine branches. I'm going to start sitting on a friend's dock across the lake. In the morning that will put the aircraft with the sun at my back most of the time. As they bank and turn I should get some good cockpit pictures. Of course that means I'll need to run a floating coffee pipeline across the lake....... Blue Angels come home from their California training tonight. They do an airshow at Davis Mothan Air Force Base in Arizona today which should put them in here before sundown. If I sit outside with a book and my camera at hand I just might catch them as they fly by in formation. Usually they arrive from airshows and let everyone know they are home. Then they do the Navy break over the Naval Air Station and come around for a landing. It's good to have them home. Three practice sessions are scheduled for Wednesday but the ramp isn't open to the public until the one on the 27th. I'll just stay home and watch, Tom "Alfie" alfblume(a)hotmail.com wrote in message ... "Bob Harrington" skrev i en meddelelse ...
