"Well I'd like to be a pilot on a steam powered aeroplane......
Rather be sittin' in a deck chair high up over Kansas City,
On a genuine old fashioned authentic steam powered aeroplane......"

Pilots cottages on Llanddwyn. The pilots also manned the lifeboat station which was later run by the RNLI. A small light was established in 1823 by the Caernarfon Harbour Trustees as a navigational aid for entering the Menai Straits and Caernarfon harbour.
These aircraft were used to deliver and collect secret agents into France during WW2. The bravery of the pilots, landing in the dead of night, in a field lit only by a few torches, is something I can't even begin to understand. Every landing could have been an ambush. The courage of the people they were transporting is on another level - beyond my comprehension. It throws our day-to-day travails into sharp perspective.

The row of four small cottages on Llanddwyn Island was built for the pilots who helped boats navigate into the ports along the Menai Strait. This narrow channel dividing Anglesey from the Welsh mainland posed a threat of grounding on sand banks to the boats calling mainly at the ports of Caernarfon, Y Felinheli and Bangor to collect the fine roofing slate produced in the hills of North Wales. As well as guiding commercial shipping, the pilots crewed the Llanddwyn lifeboat until its wathdrawal from service in 1903.
A pilot takes a walk while the plane is refueled. A black and white film shot from the 1950's - 60's. It's an U.S. Army Douglas C-54. Another of pop's pics from the shoebox.

A pilot boat leaves the cruise ship Carnival Breeze after having dropped off a port pilot to guide the ship into the Port of Progreso, Mexico.
On Llanddwyn Island. Anglesey.
The pilots resided here and met sailing ships that were heading up the Menai Straits.
Great in the Summer, but a nightmare in the Winter months I would have thought if you personally know the Menai Straits.
Nice storm brewing over our rented cottage in the far distance...good move coming here l'd say. :-)

Pilot Knob State Park - Iowa
This was taken almost a week ago, and the colors are all but gone! The last shot i posted of this very area had our first light snow on 10.14.18.
It's where I go to pause, listen to nature, breath fresh air and hike. It's my "Big Time Out!" :)

From the observation tower at Middle Harbor Shoreline Park, you also had a good vantage on the channel to Oakland's inner harbor and the pilot boats speeding to and fro.

Paul Bonhomme taxis Spitfire Ia N3200 at Duxford. The aircraft is a geniune combat veteran and was shot down near Calais on 26th May 1940 while flying in support of the Dunkirk evacuation. She remained there until being rediscovered in 1986, eventually making her way back to the UK in 2007. A full restoration was conducted by Historic Flying Limited at Duxford and she made her first post restoration flight on 26th March 2014. The aircraft was donated to the Imperial War Museum in July 2015 and continues to fly from Duxford, her original wartime base.
"New Favorite" is actually a 2001 song by Alison Krauss & Union Station, but I never liked pickin' favorites and that's why of all the shots we got today I picked this one. It was, after all, because of this SD38 that we were out in the first place. As we headed west, things just seemed to keep gettin' better and better; wait'll you see what my co-pilot has to offer!
