Public school is out in Greensboro. Families will be leaving town for their beach and mountain vacations. Others will travel by air to start their summer adventures. The above airplane is in the landing pattern for Piedmont Triad International Airport. For those who aren't in a position to take out-of-town vacations this summer, great staycations can be arranged in Greensboro, centered around plane watching in and around the airport.
This photo was taken at Bur-Mil Park. On many days, Bur-Mil is right in the landing pattern and the planes do seem really close, especially if you have your head in the clouds, dreaming about your summer fun. Speaking of summer fun, tonight the Bur-Mil swim team will host the Friendly Frogs in a dual swim meet. If possible, we will post a photo of the meet tomorrow. Stay tuned!
Our airport is to the south of the city, and most of the in and out flight paths tend to be out that way, so I only really notice the occasional light aircraft, or jets like this one at high altitude.

Our wee airport in Ocala is concerned mostly with smaller planes rather than the larger commercial ones, although John Travolta's often flies one of his planes either into our airport or into his own airport located in the community where he lives.
