Snap - Fly Me To The Moon & Back

Snap Sagas Can Be Linked Through Helena

There is a small airport close by & they have a wonderful little cafe that we like to have breakfast at.  There are a lot of small planes coming & going in every season, it is particularly busy in the Autumn when many of the small planes are taking sight seers up to view the gorgeous Autumn colours of the surrounding countryside. There is also an air school teaching flying for the brave of heart with deep pockets.

On this winter day, there was a lot of activity to keep the runways open & clear for the air school's class of take off & landing practice.

  2. looks chilly...and a warm breakfast would be great! Looks like the type of airport that would have gliders in the summer.

  4. Hmm... not sure about the "clear" runways but this brings back memories of a very snowy take-off in Japan once ... as well as a certain more recent flight in a light aircraft. I'd definitely be tempted to hang out here if it were on my patch.

  5. The snow would make me cheer them on in their takeaways - hoping it was more hospitable airborne.

  9. Our airport here is right beside Ikea, so we can sit in the cafe there and watch. But I've never seen snow like that!
