The pics that I posted were from a GoPro mounted on the handlebars. He took a few quick movies also. We were up for 20 minutes each. We could also have chosen 40 or 60 minutes. 20 minutes was plenty but I think I'll chose 40 minutes next time. Technically, this was an introductory flight for a lesson. He is not allowed to give tours. He quickly went over all of the controls and instruments and tells you how to bank/pitch. He lets you make a few turns. No test involved. He is in control at all other times including take off and landing. Very interesting feeling not having anything on either side of you. Here is their web site and their promo video. Out of the Fernandina airport is close enough for my husband to do it. Trying to decide whether to tell our kids about it for a Christmas present. I have a feeling my son and my daughter but only two of my granddaughters would love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Lakeside (where we hope we will be at this this time next week) going to the pier after a storm is cool. The waves blow up over the pier. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was supposed to go last year on a TA, but it was canceled. Someday I will make it there. Was that on the Anthem out of Southhampton? That was going to be our first TA....

That was a shame the concert was cancelled. I went to tune in on tv around 9 pm last night and at that time they were saying they restart around 10 pm. Shame the road couldn't hold out.

It was also their favorite island. We have done a couple vacations there over the years too. We like going end of May and September. Not as hot, not as crowded and cheaper for hotels or home rentals. Always have fun exploring everything the island has to offer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least with Hurricanes, we get a few days warning to prepare and/or get out of the way. I live near a nuclear power plant and they test the emergency warning sirens periodically. Not a sound I would like to wake up to. 😨 I also live near a nuclear power plant, which they closed in the past two years or so. I'm certainly familiar with the sirens. We also have sirens for emergencies... John&LaLa, Congratulations on your beautiful new grandson, Felix. He looks like a big boy!!❤️ metrs07, Congratulations on your son's upcoming marriage, and in gaining a new daughter!

He's an old plane nerd. For his birthday we toured the hangers at Biggin Hill where they build spitfires to order (very very expensive). You can even go up in one for a price. Maybe when we win the lottery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted August 22, 2021 #27040 Share Posted August 22, 2021 This end of PA is beautiful today. It is sunny and 84°. Just finished cleaning and power washing sidewalks and the patio where the new spa will be placed. They tell me maybe mid September delivery now. TSOTD is this one. It had to be music themed, because we are heading to a concert later. I was going to wear my Hard Rock London, but John beat me to it today. Watching daughter’s cat this weekend while they are in Cleveland, enjoying a last getaway before school starts. This is Lucy. Hope everyone stays safe from the storms. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckynana Posted August 22, 2021 #27043 Share Posted August 22, 2021 The weather here is quite sunny outside, although I just opened the door and saw some dark clouds in the near distance. We had lightening and a loud thunderclap at 3 am this morning, accompanied by rain. Rain had stopped by the time I awoke this morning. It was really a non-issue for us. May it be so for those in the storms path. Stay safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted August 22, 2021 #27046 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Well, Henri has come and gone. No power at my house. Very typical of anytime the wind blows. National Grid needs to do some updating. They know the area is a weak spot. So I'm hanging out at my parent's house. Lost part of a tree in my yard but no house damage. I already chain sawed the tree to pieces and will take the rest of it down soon. No problems at my parent's house or the office. Both are further from the ocean than my house. Back to work tomorrow. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
