A beautiful day here in Wisconsin for an annual inspection.

#AugsburgAirport (#IATA: AGB, #ICAO: EDMA) is a #regionalAirport in #Affing, 7 km (4.3 mi) northeast of the city of Augsburg, the third largest city in the #German state of #Bavaria. It is used for business and #generalAviation with very little passenger airline traffic.

Flying in perfect weather conditions - over a spectacular natural arena called "Creux du Van" in the Swiss Jura (mountain range).

This black-and-white postcard depicts the Administration Building of what is now known as Allegheny County Airport, located near Duquesne and McKeesport, Pennsylvania. The terminal, completed in 1931, was constructed in the Art Deco style and served as the principal commercial airport facility for the Pittsburgh region prior to the opening of Greater Pittsburgh Airport in 1952. The façade shown is decorated with patriotic bunting and flags, suggesting a dedication ceremony or civic event. Period automobiles from the late 1930s are parked along the curb, and groups of visitors are gathered on the front steps beneath the covered entrance canopy. The building’s symmetrical design, flat roofline, and rooftop control cab reflect early municipal airport architecture of the interwar period. This image documents the airport during its early prominence as western Pennsylvania’s primary air passenger gateway.

This color postcard shows the main terminal and ramp area of Allegheny County Airport during the piston-engine era of commercial aviation. A four-engine propeller-driven airliner, likely a Douglas DC-4 or Lockheed Constellation type commonly operated in the 1940s–early 1950s, is parked on the apron with ground service vehicles positioned beneath the wings. A large crowd lines the tarmac, indicating a public event, air show, or ceremonial arrival. The terminal building features a central control tower rising above the structure, with observation windows and rooftop radio equipment visible. The clear ramp layout and open viewing access reflect the public-oriented design of mid-20th-century airports. This image documents the airport during its peak years as the Pittsburgh region’s primary commercial aviation facility before jet traffic shifted to the newer Greater Pittsburgh Airport.

This aerial postcard provides a comprehensive overhead view of Allegheny County Airport, identified in the image text as “Allegheny County Airport near McKeesport, Pa.” The photograph captures the airport’s distinctive circular terminal drive with landscaped central garden, radiating access roads, and expansive parking areas filled with mid-20th-century automobiles. Runways extend outward from the terminal complex, and several light aircraft are visible on the airfield. Large painted runway markings include directional indicators and the words “Pittsburgh Allegheny County Penna,” designed for aerial identification. The organized geometry of the terminal grounds illustrates early airport master-planning concepts that emphasized symmetry, automobile access, and public gathering space. This postcard documents the airport as a regional aviation hub serving both commercial and general aviation traffic.

his colorized aerial postcard shows Allegheny County Airport, identified as “Allegheny County Municipal Airport, Between McKeesport and Pittsburgh, Pa.” The view centers on the circular terminal drive landscaped with a large ornamental garden and flagpole, surrounded by heavy automobile traffic and parked cars, suggesting an air meet or public aviation event. Several small single-engine aircraft and larger propeller aircraft are positioned near the terminal apron. The image emphasizes the airport’s role as a civic destination, with spectators gathered along the ramp and walkways. The bright hand-tinted coloration is characteristic of mid-century linen or chrome postcards. This card reflects the airport’s continued importance for regional air service, flight training, and community aviation activities after major airline operations transitioned elsewhere.

Willows California Airport, Glenn County Postcard

#WillowsCalifornia #GlennCounty #WillowsAirport #CaliforniaAviation #GeneralAviation #Airports #Avgeek #Aviation #California #EarlyAviation

Black-and-white postcard view captioned “At Willows, Calif.” with studio credit “Eastman’s Studio B-6022.” The image shows a wide dirt landing strip at the municipal airfield in Willows, located in Glenn County. A row of light aircraft—primarily high-wing monoplanes typical of the 1930s–1940s—are parked along the left edge of the field.

In the mid-ground stands a wooden hangar with large sliding doors open, revealing aircraft and ground activity inside. Adjacent utility poles and a simple rotating beacon or light tower rise above the structures, marking the airfield’s presence in the flat agricultural landscape of the Sacramento Valley. Additional hangar buildings line the right side of the image, emphasizing the modest but active character of this rural airport.

The broad, unpaved runway surface and informal parking arrangement reflect the era before widespread runway paving and modern terminal construction. The postcard documents early municipal aviation in Northern California, when small county airfields served private pilots, flight training, agricultural aviation, and regional travel needs.

From my flight yesterday, got some pictures of the ice sheets breaking up as the temperatures get warmer around here.

Flew up to KATW to see Mom for her birthday last night. Was such a wonderful flight.

Flight back was totally smooth in the dark. Did not have to touch the airplane for over 10 min and that was just a minor adjustment.

Another rather spontaneous after-work flight

Rating-relevant time: block 8:21, PIC 5:26. Crawling back to normal after an unusual long winter break. 💪

Due to decreasing visibility I only made it to the coast and Wangerooge. Since Spiekeroog was barely visible, I turned around. Spiraling upwards I could peek above the clouds at 5000 ft.

Siel (drainage canal) at Hooksiel seen from 2000 ft under a cloudy sky. The sun hidden behind the cloud bank illuminates the water.

Islands Mellum and Wangerooge seen from 5000 ft. Below are small cloudlets, the sun's disk ist visible behind a hazy sky.

Wilhelmshaven seen from 1000 ft, seen from the eastern waterside looking westward towards the setting sun.

Up in the sky again, in perfect weather conditions! ☀️😎😇

Flying out to Janesville (KJVL) to take my mother to Bessie's Diner for her Birthday today! She loves flying so this is like a two-for-one present.

Ad hoc evening flight. Another 57 min for the book -- and some boost in morale! 🙂

Misty morning. Hopefully the afternoon is more Cessna-friendly...

A barren field with some leafless trees, mist is blurring the distance.

I'm going to be flying to Oklahoma for the next two days in my plane (with the family). Feel free to watch me go via https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=aace03

Departing here 10:00am central and traveling until sometime this evening. Then tomorrow, finishing the remaining leg of the journey to Oklahoma City.

Prototype mindset. Future rotorcraft pilot in the making. 🚁
Bell 429WLG (C-FCTA) in X-Plane 11 — where discipline meets ignition.

From imagination to preparation.
From simulator to reality.
Germany is the goal.

Fixed-wing started the dream.
Rotary-wing lit the fire.

Went for another training flight today, ran into an examiner by pure chance after landing, he had time, I had time, we could shuffle things around to free up a plane. An hour later, my single engine piston (land) class rating is restored. Yay!

Only my second flight this year, but beautiful evening sunlight; the first time in weeks we've had VMC here.

Wing view out of a light aircraft, a river and canal, open fields and villages, a power station in the warm evening sunlight, blue skies with a few clouds near the horizon and a light haze.

Wing view out of a light aircraft in a slight bank. Orderly settlements and part of a canal with the old and new locks in Minden, Westphalia, the water looks green in a warm evening sunlight.

The dashboard and look out of the front of a light aircraft with a modern electronic flight instrument system consisting of multiple colour screens and button panels. Parts of the steering yokes and sun visors are visible.

Look out of a light aircraft with parts of the wing in view. A group of small turquoise/blue lakes, partly covered with floating ice. A small range of hills in the background under a blue sky with light clouds near the horizon, lit orange from a warm evening sun. The airfield is visible at the right edge of the frame.

#silentsunday #flying #generalaviation

Gorgeous night to get night current again. Flying at night is so pretty and smooth. The photos don't turn out well in the low light though so here I'm about to tuck the baby into bed.
