awesome weather today



pick up the bike from the garage




get to the place... you just ride right in and you can pretty much go wherever, up to hangars, down the runways, it's awesome. here are some pics I snapped..













you can see the skyline from out here...


and the new WTC..


inside this hangar there is actually stuff going on, but you can't get inside...





found these pics on another site... this is what's in there..

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

It's a 4 prop plane with the prop off that inboard engine. Front looks wrong for an intake, it's a shroud over a radial engine.
