I’ve not been busy at work, not much going on. So, I spent the day goofing off, and generally hanging around various places in Frederick today.
This afternoon, I went to the far end of our local airport where a soaring club has its facilities. Nice area, nobody is ever around weekdays, and you can see the runways without any buildings or aircraft obstructing your view.
I was watching the various aircraft land and takeoff, when all of a sudden, a sleek little plane I’ve never seen before, sped into the break and landed. After that sierra hotel landing I just knew it had to be a Navy guy.
I drove to the other side of the airport where the “T” hangars are, and there was this little beauty. I walked up to the pilot and introduced myself, asked about the plane and we chatted awhile. Sure enough, the pilot had been a Prowler NFO. It’s a Chinese CJ-6 trainer. Some of you might have known, but I certainly didn’t. I told him about “AW”, he’d never been to the website.
Anyway, he let me take a few pictures. (Thanks again for the help, James I love the camera.)
