History:
Developed as part of the Nazi Germany's programme to develop the German population's flying skills in preparation for war, it was opened as a glider training establishment. Taken over by the Luftwaffe in 1933, it was fully developed as a military airfield.
After being overrun by the Red Army in May 1945, towards the end of World War II, it came under the control of the occupying forces of the Soviet Union. From this point forward, several units of the Soviet Air Force were stationed at the site. After extending the runway to 2,600 metres (8,500 ft), the Soviet military added an anti-aircraft missile site 5.6 kilometres (3.5 mi) west of the near Lindow. The attached air regiment of the 833 IAP were initially equipped with the MiG-9, later replaced by the MiG-29 Fulcrum-A/B fighter and MiG-23UM Flogger-C operational trainer. The regiment was part of the 16th Guards Fighter Aviation Division within the 16th Air Army with headquarters in Damgarten.
With the reunification of Germany from 1989/1990, the Soviet Army agreed to return all bases by the end of 1994. The airfield was handed back to the district authorities in 1992.

Not only was Mama Osprey Dos Rayas telling me to leave her chick alone, she also appeared to be trying to encourage her chick to fly from his position on a nearby parking lot light back to the nest where she could keep both chicks under her watchful eye. Dos Rayas is very protective, even though I am zero threat, she has no way of knowing that. Therefore, I only shoot this family for a few minutes. I don't want to them to be stressed. I also don't want to draw too much attention to them. Even though I shoot for just a few minutes, people often notice and pull in the parking lot to see what is going on. I need to sneak out there Sunday morning before everything opens, which is also tough because they are surrounded by businesses. The Osprey pair made their choice based on a nearby deep pond/food supply, and actually I don't think most people are looking up...unless someone else is. ;o)
Hugs and thanks for viewing!

The Piper PA-28-161 Cherokee Warrior II G-OWA is part of the famous PA-28 family, a series of dependable single-engine trainers and tourers widely used by flying schools and private pilots. With its fixed landing gear, forgiving low-wing design, and 160-hp Lycoming O-320 engine, the Warrior II is known for its predictable handling - perfect for training new pilots.

Pibb the Sandhill Crane Chick was testing out his wings today, and I predict he will fly in a couple of weeks, and be able to really fly away with Classic and Cherry in about 3 weeks. They will return to the property and their nesting area each evening for some weeks after that, and then, they will go elsewhere, hopefully even the empty lot next to our house to forage, but I will see less of them.
I was photographing the family today, and getting some shots of the parents for a change, when I saw Pibb fluffing his wings out of the corner of my eye. The first shot, I clipped his right wing a little, but I still think it’s pretty darn cute. My favorite is the one I titled, “I Believe I Can Fly!”. It will be a four photo series. I’m posting them one at a time, and once I have done so, I’ll put them at the beginning of my Sandhill Crane set as a slideshow in case you want to see these four shots in order.
I am a Craniac! So this is a special time of year when my photostream gets very Sandhill Crane-ee! I hope my fellow craniacs and flickr friends enjoy them. I definitely can’t help myself. I have been photographing this family for four seasons now. It never gets old, and I am so blessed to watch their lives and be able to share that joy with others. I also hope people will find it educational.
For more information on these and other cranes, go to www.savingcranes.org. Also check out www.operationmigration.org. Many crane species still need our help, and the whooping crane migration project is fascinating and inspiring!

I saw two Osprey in flight from Hwy 60 on my way home from work. Knowing that it is rare for both parents to leave the chicks unattended, I went to check out the family. Sure enough, this chick was perched on one of the lights near the nest. Mama Osprey Dos Rayas was very agitated when I got out of the car this time, no doubt feeling her chick was vulnerable. I have developed a pretty authentic Osprey whistle, but maybe I'm saying "I want to EAT you" or something equally frightening in Osprey-ese. Must research, LOL! No doubt this chick will be back in the nest tomorrow, and I will definitely make an effort to check on them. The chicks are full grown, but not as filled out as their parents yet and of course they still have the juvenile markings on the tops of their wings!

This is the final call for boarding, or perhaps just the final call before boarding.
The vast windows at Frankfurt Airport are a dream for the aviation enthusiast, whether its up close to the plane or perhaps capturing the atmosphere both sides of the window.
