At the Reid-Hillview Airport Open House.
Benson and I saw a poster for it on our way out of Red Robin at Eastridge, the mall across the street from the airport. (The small planes landing at the airport fly low right over the mall; on the approaching side there are some thick metal poles in front of the building which, I'm told, are there to break up a crashing plane before it crashed full force into the mall. I'm not sure if that's just a rumor, but I can't think of what else those poles could be for.)
We spent a little bit of time there seeing the different planes. Neither of us are particularly huge fans of airplanes or flying, so we didn't get as much out of it as others probably did. However, it was interesting actually being inside the airport that we frequently drive by (and from which we often see planes taking off and landing).
The best part was probably the airshow, with groups of planes flying in close formation. We actually saw one group from our home as we were heading over.
Part of me thinks it would be fun to get a license, but then I remember I don't even do that great a job of parking my car. I can't imagine how I would be coming in for a landing.
In dry dock, the propeller looks like a fragile drill.
Tour the “most significant submarine every built:” the USS Albacore. It's (she's?) in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, an hour north of Boston. (Quote from Weir 2003.)

Enjoyed watching these planes land and take off from Preesall Sands beach near Knott-End-on-Sea with the Lake District mountains in the distance. Also enjoyed talking to the pilots. If the pilots of G-SKIE want copies of photos they should email me or cantact me via my website www.richardlinnett.com .
