As I was watching the video, I imagined Glenn Curtiss flying his various airplanes over the lake. The Langley Aerodrome came to mind. Glenn was able to make it fly with some modifications. Samuel Langley would have been proud if he was still alive at the time. Now the plane sits at the air and space museum at Dulles. I checked a photo of the flight and see that Elwood Doherty flew the plane that day. The director of the Curtiss museum is Traf Doherty. I bet they are related.
This was great! You DO realize that you live in paradise! (Except for winter)
I like those wee, Buddy Holly aeroplanes, but only when watching them from the ground. Flew in loads of 'em when I was in Peace Corps Fiji. They painted the planes ocean blue. I guess to make them impossible to find if they go down in the ocean - which they fly over most of the time. =^D
Thanks Mike. We love it here except maybe Jan and Feb. Summer and fall is the best.
I don't like small planes either but my neighbor is a retired AA pilit and has flown for 40 years and so I felt pretty safe. There is a plane for sale in his hanger that can go 200 mph which could get the wife and me to FLA in about 5 hours.
Learn to fly, eh? Sounds great! I'm far too chicken at the moment to even think about such an endeavor, but then, until the age of 35, I was too chicken to learn how to ride.
Flying 'seems' less scary than riding sometimes. And, my neighbor talks about flying like we talk about riding, I don't think flying can come close to riding. It's just a fast way to get where you want to go. On the other hand, I'm willing to have my opinion changed and to like both.
Thanks! Glad you liked it. Your vids and Trinith's made think I should post this. Yeah, I should tell Brother Blonde. He did a video about things named after vlogger usernames.

Thanks a lot, I didn't know my vids would inspire anyone.
I will have to look up Trinith, I'm unfamiliar with the name.
