> I've spent quite a bit of time this week getting some images for the airport manager.  In the process, I've picked up a few that were for myself.  Here are some of them.

> This is a Piper Tripacer in 1957 colors, the prettiest paint scheme that Piper ever designed.  In the late 1950s and early 1960s, my family and I made many trips in these little airplanes. It brought back a lot of fond memories.

> This is one of Piper's current favorites, the turbine-powered Meridian.  Pressurized, it cruises above 20,000 ft and really is very efficient, with the reliable P&W Canada PT-6.

> This shows some of the contrasts at the airport.  There were a number of moms who brought their kids out to watch.  Here, a young father babysits in the grass as the passengers from the arriving jets walk into the terminal building.  I couldn't help but wonder if those shoes were the cause of the banged up knee. :-\
