Sky Sunday – Reach for the Sky

by Pamela Moresby September 15, 2019, 9:04 am 138 Views 12 Votes 19 Comments

I had it all worked out, our Sunday drive. We take the car out and go where ever for a short day adventure.

Until, I spotted 5 Harvard planes taking off by Ardmore Airport. “Change of plans!” I said. We went straight to the Airport Cafe to watch the action.

Ever had a “change of Plans?”

The weather had intermittent showers or squalls of rain.

The thumbnail shows a plane returning to Ardmore and an indicator of today’s weather..

#1 War Birds Harvard

Overhead.

Control tower in the background.

Harvards.

I used to watch pilots training in Harvards a very long time ago.

Incoming Rain.

Waiting to go into their place after landing.

Manipulated but is as it is.

Rain coming out of the spouting.

Flying over head

There are always helicopters at Ardmore airport.

Very interesting pictures. I go to the airport several times and see the planes, but only the passengers

  This airport is more for private use, for training of pilots or for old War Bird planes…It is not so commercial as the usual airports.

It is funny “change of plans” my wife plans everything. I don’t. Sometimes we do things her way. Sometimes my way.

so, change of plans is my favorite mode!

  I believe we were both in agreement of this decision as I know Warwick also loves planes as I do.
  I used to work in the electrical section of planes a very long time ago and just love anything that flies.

You never know when you go out to take pictures of what a plan can change. Very good hits are these pictures of the Harvard aircraft
