I've got a new hobby....

I bought a new pair of binoculars to watch planes as they fly over head. Apparently I'm right in the middle of a bunch of flight paths and they fly over my house all the time. So while I'm sitting out on my deck getting a suntan, taking a break from music,  or just enjoying the evening, I can focus in on planes flying overhead.....It may sound a bit weird, but it's great fun...I've already spotted an eagle flying over too !!
 
The planes are usually pretty high up, but with the binoculars I can see them fairly clearly, and make out the type and color of each plane....
 
Just sumpthin' to do...

    Wait until you go to the beach again... you'll forget all about planes.

    And concentrate on curves instead?  Hehe...
     
    BTW - We had a bald eagle land on our backyard fence yesterday.   First time!  Had to have at least a six foot wing span.  Maybe that's why I haven't seen any bunnys lately...
     
    (I told him we didn't have any "Just For Eagles" available so he took off.)

    I love going to the Air Show and seeing the planes close up. I think they were F-15's that I saw one year, they gave a demonstration flight and flew over the crowd then headed straight up, we were so close that we could feel the heat from the jet engines, it was like standing in front of a big furnace...awesome !!

    Watching the jets fly across the sky is really cool, you get to see the jets in action as the smoke comes off the engines and leaves the vapor trail behind. You get a real feel for how fast they are really traveling....looking thru binoculars brings you right up close to the plane.
