I went to Kerrville, Texas in October for the annual convention of the Mooney Aircraft and PIlot's association. A lot of folks flew into the convention. The Kerrville airport closed one of the runways and used it for parking space.
On Saturday afternoon, a few people took a van out to the airport to drop off logguage and stuff. I tagged along. These pictures are fun; you don't usually get to shoot photos while standing on a runway.
A panorama:
And the panorama larger.
Perfect is the enemy of good enough. I keep having these grandiose ideas of the really groovy stuff I want to blog about, but then I don't have the time to edit up the nice photo set, so the post gets delayed, and I don't write the post. I have trips in October and November that I have lots of photos that I want to document. Several interesting posts about airplanes and one about cars coming up.
One quick on that the pictures are ready for. I flew to a conference
in Seattle early in November. On the way back, from SEA to ATL, I
photographed this unique-looking river-convergence. Note the airport
marked with green dots:
I didn't have my iPad along on this trip, but I figured that this
formation of rivers, town, and airport had to be fairly unique.
It turns out that I was flying over "little Egypt", which is the very
southern tip of the state of Illinois. Here's that same spot on the
sectional on the screen of my iPad:
The town is Cairo (pronounced "kay-row", by the way). I find it often
tough to figure out where you are when you're looking at stuff from an
airliner, but this time I got lucky and managed to figure it out.
