On a sunny Sunday, I suspected that the skydivers would be jumping at 
the airport.  As I rounded the corner of the terminal building, this was 
the scene at the fence.

I was able to snap a couple of the late jumpers, a tandem jump.

After the jumpers landed, this classic car owner posed his 1957 Chevy 
Bel Air with the DC-3, so his buddy could record it with his smart phone.

As I walked back to the terminal area, this beautiful 1977 Cessna A185F 
on amphibious floats taxied in to the gas pump.

It takes a lot of ladder to reach the fuel tanks.

On the second tank, he gets a helping hand from his daughter, who had 
flown their Bonanza in for a visit to the Avionics Shop.
