Happy 4th!
I was out at KEUL (yes, it is a cool airport!) this morning assembling
some hardware in my friend's hangar, and it was nice to see all the GA activity. Quite a few departures and arrivals of various certified and experimental planes, plus an impromptu flyby down the runway at 500AGL by a pair of A10's. With all the doom and gloom about GA activity levels it was good to see so many folks out enjoying the holiday in the air this morning. Happy 4th to you all! Dean |

Happy 4th to you all!
Back atcha! Independence Day is the best holiday of the year, IMHO. We flew up to our hometown of Racine, WI and enjoyed an honest-to- goodness Independence Day celebration -- including a parade that lasted FOoR HOURS! It started at 8:30 AM (with dozens of fire engines and squad cars from all the surrounding communities) and didn't finish till the street sweepers rolled at 12:30 PM. It's funny -- I grew up with that parade -- even marched in it a few times -- and took it completely for granted when I lived there. Only after I moved to a university town chock-full of apathy did I come to appreciate a truly patriotic demonstration like the Racine Fourth of July Parade. (Aviation content: They had a two C-130s fly the length of the parade route at tree-top level -- very cool!) In contrast, Iowa City's parade consists of...nothing. There *is* no parade, in a town of 65,000 people. (IC is a complete anomaly in this regard, BTW. I don't mean to besmirch all of Iowa in general, because every other town over 100 people has a parade of some sort.) It was our first time back to Racine for the parade in ten years, and I'm really glad to see that they still pull it together each year. (I can't imagine the amount of work that goes into it.) We then enjoyed a spectacular fireworks display over Lake Michigan, from the deck of a friend's boat in the harbor. VERY cool, indeed. Now, we're looking at flying home to Iowa very shortly. A perfect holiday, indeed! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Flew down to Springfield, MO and spent the day with family. The flight back to St Louis Regional began at 8:15 pm. From about Lebonan to St Louis (about 150 miles), there was never more than a few seconds at a time that fireworks weren't going off somewhere in our field of view, either coming up from below or from the distant storm clouds to our southeast. It was an awesome flight. Perhaps most interesting is that the nearly unlimited visibility was brought down to 3 miles by a huge cloud of fireworks residue drifting from downtown St Louis. That's some major weather modification! -- Gene Seibel Tales of Flight - http://pad39a.com/gene/tales.html Because I fly, I envy no one. |
