Last Sat. morning our group of 5 aircraft departed Indian Hills Airpark for Wayside cafe just before sun up. About a 30 minute flight. Video is a little shorter I think. It was about 47 degrees on takeoff. Great breakfast. Good company. Ride along if you like. Video flight to Wayside.
Probably the most interesting/important photo is the last one. This is a photo of Gen. Patton's training camp area in S.W. Arizona. Those seemingly unimportant tracks in the photo were placed there by early WW2 tank crews training in the desert of Arizona before being shipped off to fight the Germans in Italy and Africa. The tracks are still easily visible from the 1940's training tanks the guys used at the camp. I would imagine that the majority of the guys that left these marks on the desert so many decades ago were killed overseas in combat. These tracks maybe the only things they left behind. A special place.
