Got my feet off the ground!

Monday will make it 3-weeks since my shoulder surgery, and I’m already getting pretty tired of being one-armed, and not being able to do much “fun” stuff… like fly.

My friend Jimmy made a generous offer to take me up in his plane, to which I eagerly accepted!  It was a fantastic morning of driving around the sky; I am supremely grateful!

A look at the construction of a NEW Tappan Zee Bridge… and they’ll tear down the current one when they’re done!

Can you name that runway?

Hint: C-130’s and C-5A’s live here.  Usually a couple C-17’s, too… but I didn’t see them this time

I finally got to fly the Gunks! 🙂

Thank you again Jimmy D!!!
