Candy and I ran through my logbooks this morning, entering all of the airports that I have flown to into OurAirports.com. Trips down memory lane are always good ways to spend lazy weekend mornings. I got to remember flying to places like Munchen (Munich, Germany); Hesperia Ranch, CA; Calistoga, CA; and, well, I’ll spare you all the details.
I was able to enter 167 airports and was saddened by how many of the airports I have visited no longer exist. For instance, Calistoga, CA, is gone. That one was fun. You landed to the west and took off to the east. The end of the runway was at the main street of town so good food and shopping where just a few steps away. You can still see where the airport used to be but the airplanes are gone.
Here is a snapshot of My Airports
Hop over to My Map at OurAirports.com, though. It’s fully interactive and a lot of fun.
Next stop, scheduled for this afternoon, is the pool party at the Alexis Park Inn in Iowa City, IA. Tomorrow, David and I will be at AirVenture in Oshkosh, WI.
