Last year I showed you a nice selection of Bellancas that flew in to 
Natchitoches.  They came back this weekend, and I really wanted to get out 
there, but 
as things go, I did not have time.  Funny thing about living is a small 
town.  

Anyhow, this morning, as I was getting out of my car at church, I heard the 
beating of an old piston type overhead. I saw a star spangled something or 
other that I could not identify.  I was an Air Force brat, so, my heart 
thumped a 
little, but I went on to church.

Anyhow, I kept thinking about it, and in the middle afternoon, I made a pass 
by the airport, just in time to find Jim prepping the airplane for the 
flight 
home.  His wife Ann was there too, they had been invited to the Bellanca fly 
in.

I took some pictures, and Jim took off.  Maybe next year when they come, I 
can hitch a ride to show you Natchitoches from the air.  

Aw.. that's selfish.  A low wing plane is not good for photography.  I would 
be doing it for the thrill.

Oh yeah, the pictures... http://www.sonc.com/cj6/
