Big Game

Filed under: Aviation,Flying,Has Photos,People,Random,SB Region — John @ 18:37

I found out today on Edhat in Comments to my photos from yesterday’s flight, that the big crowd we saw at SB High was for a special alumni game, so I’m posting these aerials to enhance the collection of photos at PresidioSports. These were taken at about 3:20pm from opposite sides of the stadium. Note: as with all photos on this blog, to see the largest version just click until it doesn’t get any bigger (sometimes two to four clicks).

Young & Old

We flew to Lompoc today, and at the airport a man was trying to find someone willing to show his son an airplane. We of course gave them a Tripp tour, and it was heartwarming to see dad’s patience and the youthful excitement. Dad was excited too, and walked over to Above All to see about learning to fly.

Before heading for Lompoc we flew over iMadonnari at Mission Santa Barbara to check the progress, and it was quite a contrast with yesterday. Many of the chalk art projects are nearing completion, and the place is alive with people.

Tomorrow if we don’t fly I’ll post more pix and tales from today, but for now I’m going to rest and relax in the warm glow of slow flight over scenic wonders.
