Thanks guys, I'm glad you all enjoyed the photographs!
I actually live in Monroe, got my private pilots licens flying out of Firstair Field right by the fairgrounds. Wonderful place to fly and perfect for training. Every runway I visit now I think it's waaaaaay too long and wide and not nearly enough obstructions to clear!! haha I always loved sitting there at Monroe counting how many go-arounds those folks from Regal Air did before finally leaving! I remember one fella was getting rather frustrated over the radio, so I said, "it's okay, we won't bite," to which he laughed.
I used to work at Harvey Field for about three years. Until I realized I could actually work for nice people, then went on to work for a flight school at Paine Field (Northway Aviation). The owner was much nicer, paid more, and I had fewer responsibilities! Plus I got to taxi around BRAND NEW airplanes all day long!
As for Kilo-6, I heard they were aiming for a September/early fall opening. I'm really excited to see their other pieces, especially the jets!
Any of you going to be there this Saturday to see the 109 and Storch? This month is really great as they have THREE fly-days! Wohoo!
