9 Jan., 2009 -- Flying things everywhere


Takes a lot of wind to make that huge flag fly. It sure was pretty this morning, with a big blue sky.


Well, John got warmed up, but didn't fly. He had a good grip on his 180, just to taxi in the 18 mph gustiness this afternoon. How am I going to post pictures of airplanes flying, if they don't fly...

Lookie there, the local flock of geese did fly off to another watering hole, had a tailwind, hope they didn't overshoot.

Clouds were flying in this evening, bringing more gusty wind and some rain & snow later tonight. Might be clear enough Saturday night to see the biggest, brightest full moon of 2009. It will appear about 14 percent bigger in our sky and 30 percent brighter than some other full moons during 2009, according to NASA. (A similar setup occurred in December, making that month's full moon the largest of 2008.) Space.com
