Had a fantastic long weekend, but when we got home after a 2.5 hour hike and a 2+ hour drive we just felt like we needed to have a bit more fun, so we sneaked out for a *quick* 55 mile bike ride.
Ended up going to new-to-us airport .. saw lots of cool planes take off and land.. as well as few air balloons hanging in the air. Weather was just too good to call it a night without doing this ride :D

thanks for the pics and that is a cool old plane!

one of my friends owns a couple of small planes, one of them is a really cool 1950's something (forgot the name lol). He restored it to like new condition and did the interior in crushed velvet that looks like it is straight out of a 1970's whore house lol.

Pleasure to be of service :BLAA: Anything you want identifying all you need do is ask :thumbup:

Here is a useless piece of information for you , the lovely rasping noise that the engine makes is actually the tips of the prop blades breaking the sound barrier :D :rockon:

Ohh yeah & the SNJ/Harvard/Texan range is build by North American ;)
