A little weekend buzzing around on the bikes.
Greg on his bike.
Greg and Dian taking a dinner break while cruising around.
Dian meets up with Greg at Waukegan
Airport after work Friday...
which is right near her office...and we buzz around for a little early evening
flying.
Waukegan Airport Services...very
nice pilot services!
(DB Aviation's "Presidential Services" and they were!)
Air Chappie parked in the middle
of the big boys,
just below the tower (next to cart out there).
Some Lears hanging out.
Greg hooking up my headphones for me. What a gentleman!
Here we go....
And we're up...over the airport.
USM is out there, somewhere!
Nice view out Greg's windows...to the lake.
But it's a bit hazy, so we stay inland.
Neat looking lake.
There's Great America. That's 294 passing the park and USM in the back.
Trying to get a clearer view, but we're heading
away and it's not working.
Yet another view...trying to make out the Gurnee watertower back there.
Nice and close to the airport to go flying with Greg!
HA! Boob Lake!<lol>
Lake Villa...so says the watertower.
Fox Lake (Chain-O-Lakes) ...nearing Carol's house.
Add eyes and a nose and you've got a smiley marsh!<g>
Coming around by Carol's.
Rounding to Carol's
The front of Carol's place.
A nice place Greg and I go sometimes to meet up with Mike & Deb Ruggles.
Ewww, lake booger!
Not sure what the heck I was trying to take a photo of here???
This is your Cap'n speaking!
Very pretty golf course. Kinda looks like a painting.
Nice backward shot of one of the Twin Lakes.
Turning to base...to land at Westosha.
Wilmot ski area.
And there...between the bug guts...is our runway. Hum, don't see any buffalo out today!
We land...and move into position
to fuel up as the guys ahead of us get
ready for a night flight...and push the plane up a bit so we can
gas up.
Greg's turn to do a little plane
pushing as he puts Air Chappie to bed.
Nice butt!<eg>
