This morning we drove to the other side of the lake to have breakfast with our friends, Kathy and Bill. We love our trips to the Middlesex Valley Airport - a nice 30 minute drive, good food and often good entertainment, with planes flying in and out.
My husband was an instructor pilot in the Air Force and is familiar with many of the single engine planes that drop out of the sky, taxi on the grassy runway and park just inside the driveway fence. This cute little plane was built in 1946 and came out of the factory painted bright yellow, according to its pilot:
The pilots hop out and come inside for a hearty breakfast. There's outside seating, too, where the sunshine can be fierce on a day like today - but where there's an excellent view of the action.
Stomachs full, the flyboys return to the air and make room for the next plane coming in.
And those of us who never leave the ground are happy to sit back, relax with friends and enjoy another gorgeous day in the Finger Lakes.
