This weekend is our local air fest!
What’s cool is that our house is on the flight path, so we don’t have to buy tickets or attend anything. We just need to sit out in our backyard and watch the fun.
The airport is about 1/2 mile away from the house. We live out in the country - - miles from pretty much nowhere. Our nearest neighbor is about a mile, or so away. By the time the planes approach our house - - they are nearing the end of their descent to the landing stip - - so we get a good view of all the planes.

I’ll grab some pics and post them here sometime tomorrow.
