It’s been a while since we’ve flown, and my “feathers” were getting itchy! Since our last flight, we waited a few days in order not to seem addicted, then the fog rolled in, then the winds came. Today we decided even with the wind reporting 16 gusting to 21kt, we’d at least go to the airport for a look. On the Hwy.217 toward UCSB we could see a 172 in the pattern, and we cheered loudly.
I got some great shots of UCSB and other sights around town, but one of the more unusual was this banner tow traildragger. Not just the massive radial engine on such a tiny old plane, but the way seals (sea lions? sea elephants?) were watching it.
6106 Banner Tow
6103 Volleyball Viewers
These are the volleyball courts on East Beach, and today there was a massive tournament on West Beach that probably attracted the banner advertiser. While flying around, I guess the pilot decided to entertain all of the volleyball players and the pinnipeds offshore.
Today I finished importing our Big Adventure blog from blogspot.com onto this WordPress.com blog where I find it easier to write, and to insert photos. Hopefully this ease will encourage me to start blogging more frequently. We’ll see… 🙂
