Pickens County Fly-In

Last weekend we went to the Pickens County airport fly-in. We saw a bunch of small airplanes and hot rods. They were giving helicopter and airplane rides to raise money for charity. John and I took a ride in a 6-seat Cherokee. John listened intently to the pilot's description of our flight plan as we taxi-ed to the runway. The pilot held the door open for air conditioning until we took off; that's why John is cold in the first video...

Taking off...

Flying high...


You can't hear him, but here John tells me that the cars on the ground look like toys...

Here's our view of the runway as we start our landing...

Touch down...

Sorry! I fell behind on blog-spotting!
That makes me miss flying!
Nice video work, Tony. John was very brave and cool. I hope he was impressed enough to start thinking about his license some day. After his first 10 million, that is...
