One of the nice things about living about 1.5 miles from our local municipal field is that we regularly get small traffic over our house, and from time to time some more interesting stuff like C-130's and Blackhawks doing practice drops with the local NG units.  These guys were dropping in January when it was about 10deg F outside.  Guessing the blast from the slip stream was cold!

Being in the country means we routinely get our own airshows from this guy doing crop dusting.   Last week he was in front of our house and was so much fun to watch.  Big radial growling as he nosed in and sprayed, then going almost quiet as he climped out at about 45deg, hit hard left rudder to turn hard over, then throttled up to do another pass.  Didn't get the camera out in time tot get any pictures.



I did catch him spraying a field behind our house this weekend.  What was great is he was below tree-top level, so couldn't see him, but could hear that loud radial coming toward me.  He'd pop up over the trees, bank hard and rudder over and go back the other way.  I tried to catch a cool shot of him below roof top and tree top level.  Mind you I live up on a hill, but this was really fund to watch.   Has to be a lot of fun to fly.

We seldom get to see the radial crop dusters any more.  Most are now turboprop.

Close...Dudleytown.  My guess is he probably does quite a bit in Jackson and Jennings Co. for the Co-Op.

Is that at the end of a roll / loop maneuver?   Or hard forward accell where the tail is allowed to come up at a steep angle momentarily?  Seems pretty darn close to the deck to be vertical like that!

Cool little planes. There's one that flies out of Suffolk, VA that does a lot of work with certain teams of Navy guys around here you may have heard of.

Cessna 120 that came all the way from Southern Argentina.  I thought he said it was a 120 but it looks like it has flaps so would be a 140.

Nice as always.  You gotta come in and show me up...  Just kidding you.  I should do some processing on my Airventure pics.  I have over 1500 of them and have only batch resized them.  I have several that I want to make large prints to display in the hanger.

Yankee Air Museum and thei Annual Air show at YIP..Blues were in Town.

Working at YIP for years and the internet being flooded with all sorts of pic's of these event's, I wanted to leave the camera and the photo stuff alone and just enjoy. Couldn't help myself, on a few.

As much as I hated aviation, I miss it dearly...





I was reminded of my time in Africa with the KC130..where ever we were, no matter where, when we parked, dog's came out of everywhere to enjoy the shade





A German C160 was in town, I miss the look of "working aircraft". Leaks, patches, spray paint, etc..Dig the drip pan.



Next to the Herk, my favorite platform. Gorgeous.



Daughters reaction to the F16 doing a low pass at 650mph... after the sound caught up


Stand by, for more loading up to FB..taking a while from my cell.
