San Jose International Airport. The closest you can get to a MD90 without paying airfare. |

Preflight: I check to make sure nothing is loose, stuck, leaking, blocked, bent, full of holes or on fire. |

Our view from the runup area for Runway 29. |

We're next in line for takeoff. |

Coyote Creek Reservoir, near South County Airport, Morgan Hill, California. |

The pilot, looking calm and collected and feeling just a bit sunburnt. |

Beautiful Downtown San Jose, featuring the twin towers of Adobe Corporation. From the final leg, landing Runway 29. |

Another aircraft comes in for a landing on 29 as we tie down our own plane. |

Our resident parking area hot rod. I don't know who owns it or whether it's even operating, but it's still nice to look at. |
