Waco Fly-In (September 19, 2020)

Great time yesterday, took my wife Debbie to Troy, Ohio to the Waco Fly-In. A number of planes from across the country flew in to the city where the aircraft were made in the 20's and 30's. Really beautiful both on the ground and in the air. Mostly all Waco planes but a few non-Waco aircraft were also there. I have a  homebuilt Mustang type aircraft (as a theme, not a reproduction)  third from the bottom, and an old classic Cessna as the last photo. It was remarkable to see these historic aircraft and really enjoyed this event on a beautiful Saturday. I went by there on Friday also and have more photos on my "Racing with the Wind" page.    

 

Summer's End (September 14, 2020)

Summer is winding down, noticed during the morning motorcycle ride much cooler temperatures and much lower humidity. Very nice to get out, as fall is my favorite time of the year to ride the motorcycle or to just get out in the car. Looking forward to seeing some fall color and to enjoy some of the cooler temperatures this season. 

Saw some trees changing the other day but stopped and got this one. Hoping for a lot of color this year as last year we did not get so much. The official start of the season this year is September 22.

In addition to the hint of Fall, while out riding saw this C-17 from the nearby Wright-Patterson Air Force base also out for a cruise in the skies above me. Fun to watch these fly. Got this photo from my front yard, its a very cool airshow and really enjoy watching these planes zooming around the skies. 

 
 

 

Airplanes and Beer (September 5, 2020)

Nice motorcycle ride on a Saturday morning. I went to explore a couple of new places. A big fan of craft beer and got a quick look at Mother Stewart's Brewing in Springfield. Not open, but went to see it for a future visit. I also rode to the Springfield Airport which I had also never seen. I am a big fan of aviation and enjoy visiting these places. Nice day to ride and looking forward to checking out a cold beer at Mother Stewart's in the future. I also have more photos at my Racing with the Wind blog page.     

 

Waterfalls (August 31, 2020)

Nice drive on the last day of August to see the waterfalls in the area. Not a long drive to Ludlow Falls where we saw the view at left. Beautiful place and was able to find it thanks to my wife who had been there years before. 

Likewise photo below is of the West Milton Cascades, which were a bit harder to find. In fact there were no signs for either waterfall. Found the Cascades thanks to Google Maps, and heard the sound of the falling water. I also got a photo of the historical sign at West Milton which was a stop on the Underground Railroad. This was a fun adventure to see these sights. Amazing what you can find in the immediate area here in Ohio.
