Alex's Flying Trips

Misc. Aviation Events and Pictures - 2010/ 2011

On the way to Petaluma for lunch at Two Niner Diner with Susan as co-pilot (Oct. 22, 2011)
Susan helping pre-flight the Cessna (Oct. 22, 2011)
Per F16 specs, it can cruise at 1,500 mph (Mach 2). But wait a minute --- this is a single seater jet; you can can't take a passenger! Never mind then.
Galaxy C-5B: Capable of carrying 270,000 lbs of cargo. Hmmmm ....I wonder how many balikbayan boxes would that be.
May 8, 2010
Aluminum Overcast, a B-17 WW II bomber, dropped by at Napa Airport.
B-17's front machine guns.
B-17's rear machine guns.
B-17's belly machine guns.
Belly machine gun operator's very cramped work space.
- Not sure what this is but I saw it fly and land.
Nicely restored bi-plane complete with wooden propeller.
Ultra light: this must be fun to fly.
Must be fun flying with open air cockpit. Photo taken as I was taxiing back to my hanger in Napa from Los Banos (April 27, 2011).
