Baz, stop eating when you get to the bone!
This weekend was the annual Fly in at the Arlington airport, right in my backyard (OK, a mile away).
I've missed it for a number of years now since it used to occur around July 4th when I'm up in the mountains.
My wife and our best friends went in to see the balloon glow event and I was impressed by how well it was attended and the shear numbers and variety of aircraft, military hardware and vehicles present.
I was very happy to get to see what is likely the most accurate flying replica of The Spirit of St. Louis on display.
It was even in the local paper, quite the labor of love:

Also lots of interesting stuff
