Today, we had some beautiful weather here in Central PA, so I drove my '70 Beetle to the local Army Heritage Education Center, where Volksy met a vehicle that may be slightly heavier than a Beetle.
After that, I took the car to the Carlisle Airport and took a nice two hour flight in my Piper Cherokee. The weather was fantastic, and after I landed, I did a photo op with the resident Grumman Albatross, a 1950s-vintage Navy patrol plane that was brought here from Columbia.
All in all, it was a great day with some great vehicles, although one of them was just a little bit less powerful than the others…

It may be less powerful, but at least it's still running and moving under its own power.

True! The guys who brought the Albatross up from Columbia were aiming to do a full resto on it, but they ran into issues with the FAA and had problems finding parts. Ergo, the thing has sat for ~8 years and has become a fixture at the airport.

There's always a bunch of Albatross' hibernating for the winter here at my little airport: 61B, located in Boulder City, NV
