Acts of Kindness…

I just had to share this story because, well, it just restores my faith in the world.

I also just wanted to say God Bless Southwest Airlines for the caliber of pilots and employees they have on their staff.

Imagine being a greiving grandfather trying to catch a flight to see your grandson one last time. The line getting through security is stupidly long and you fear there is no way you are going to make your flight.

Still Dreaming…

by on Mar.12, 2010, under Photography

I still dream of flying one day. Every time I get close something else happens. For now I’ll just photograph the objects of my dreams.

I just really wish I could spend more time “up there”.

I’ve taken a ‘discovery’ flight or two. The adrenalin rush lasts for weeks. I just need to figure out how to get money to learn the rest of it and get a license.

I’m off to work now. I’ll keep dreaming.

Peace, Love and Clouds,

Aluminum Overcast…

I love living near our municipal airport here in Georgetown, Texas. I get to see some interesting sights. Actually, interesting aircraft.

I have become a fan of Aluminum Overcast. A flying piece of history in the form of a B-17G with four 1,200 hp radial engines that sounds like a thousand Harley Davidson’s thundering down the road when she flies over.

You can actually take a flight on this wonderful piece of history or you can take a tour of the aircraft. The most information can be found at the official website http://www.b17.org

Check out their website and appearance schedule and take a flight on a piece of history. Learn what it was like for the men of WWII. Quite an awe inspiring experience. I have other photographs on my facebook page as well (Aircraft Photos).Thank you for stopping by and God Bless.

Peace, Love, and Happy Flying,
