A Little fun in the snow.

 

 

The kids had a snow day yesterday (and today) so after we shovelled the drive, we went out to the backyard for a little sledding fun.

Vintage Flying Days

I'm beginning to hear a rumor about my little slice of heaven hosting a Vintage Flying Days event this year.

What's a good weekend you can come? Just asking for now...more later.

In loving memory of the children of Newtown, CT.

OT-Sky and I go to Paul McCartney!

Sky and I before the show; great seats!

Live and Let Die.

 

Sunday night Sky and I went to one of two US performances by Paul McCartney. Had a great time! Paul played for 2 hours and 45 minutes, did 3 encores and his bass player Brian tweeted they had a ridiculous amount of fun. He played some of his lesser-played work including Ninteen-hundred and eighty-five and Junior's Farm as well as hits like Back in the USSR, Get Back, Live and Let Die, The End.

 

I was a bad dad-I let Sky miss the morning of school the next day, taking him in at 11.

 

For Paul, it was worth it.Thanks Tim for giving me Monday off!

Oshkosh 2011

My friend Richard Vandermeulen did a photo-shoot of Mike Thern's Fairchild 24 along with my own at Oshkosh 2011. He sent me this killer picture.

Sky was all tuckered out coming home-he slept all the way.

Stearmans on the flightline at Blakesburg. Drizzle, high winds and low ceilings put a damper on arrivals but not spirits today at the Antique Airplane Fly-In held at Blakesburg, IA.

Spartan Executive taxis out.

The new restoration center at Antique Airfield. Used to show movies during the fly-in.
