In the early morning, both the moon and the sun were visible at the same time. The sun was just rising as I flew over Kill Devil Hills – the site of the Wright brothers' work and the location of the first motor-powered flight (last image).

A runway length of only 3,000 feet at Billy Mitchell Airfield and crosswinds made the landing quite a challenge.

Nighttime at an airport runway features a small aircraft centered on the dark tarmac, illuminated by a bright beam of light. The runway displays prominent white markings, including the number "23" visible on the surface. To the left of the aircraft, horizontal white stripes extend along the runway edge, while parallel white lines appear to the right. The scene is set against a pitch-black background, with the lighting highlighting the aircraft and a portion of the runway. The aircraft seems to be taxiing or preparing for departure, positioned under the focused light source. The surrounding area is dimly lit, emphasizing the runway’s markings and the aircraft’s position. The runway surface shows a grid-like pattern, and additional markings like yellow arrows and small red lights are visible near the edge of the image. The overall environment conveys a calm yet focused airport operation under low-light conditions.

A small aircraft with a dark body and red tail stripe flies horizontally through a twilight sky. It hovers above a coastal area where the horizon meets the ocean, which displays a gradient of orange to deep blue as the sun sets. Below, a landmass features illuminated urban areas with scattered light points, indicative of buildings and roads, alongside darker patches of fields or forests. The sky transitions from warm orange near the horizon to a darker blue higher up, creating a serene atmosphere. The aircraft appears to be moving smoothly, its silhouette distinct against the colorful backdrop.

A small propeller-driven aircraft flies through a twilight sky. The plane has a light-colored fuselage with darker accents on its wings and tail, and its propeller is visible in motion. Above, the sky transitions from warm orange and pink hues near the horizon to a deep blue higher up, with a bright moon positioned near the top center of the frame. Below, a vast expanse of water stretches across the landscape, its surface reflecting the sky’s colors, bordered by darker landmasses that include patches of green fields and faintly illuminated urban areas in the lower right. The horizon shows a soft gradient where the sun has recently set, creating a serene atmosphere with scattered clouds catching the fading light. The aircraft moves horizontally across the scene, its position suggesting a flight path over the water and toward the land. The overall scene conveys a peaceful moment during either dawn or dusk, with the moon adding a celestial element to the tranquil landscape.

A white airplane wing dominates the left side of the frame, its underside visible with a black and red stripe near the tip. The wing features a small red circular marking. The plane is in flight, viewed from an interior cabin perspective, with part of the fuselage and engine also visible. Below, a densely lit urban area stretches across the scene, its countless streetlights and buildings glowing against the twilight sky. The city is bordered by a large body of water, with the lights reflecting faintly on the surface. In the distance, a circular structure stands out amid the urban sprawl. The sky above transitions from deep purple to soft pink hues, indicating either early morning or late evening. The wing's edge catches the light, creating a subtle glow along its length. No text is visible in the image.

From Town of Kill Devil Hills on FB: 🚨Attention: Ocean overwash is now occuring in Kill Devil Hills 🚨

As expected, conditions have worsened with this evening’s high tide. Water has breached the dunes at multiple beach accesses in Kill Devil Hills and there is some standing water and sand along NC 12 (the Beach Road).

⚠️ Please use extreme caution when traveling along the Beach Road.

Remember: Floodwaters are extremely dangerous. Even shallow water can knock you off your feet or sweep a vehicle away. If you encounter a flooded street, turn around and do not attempt to drive through the water.

Yesterday while in the ocean having fun the typical beach sounds were interrupted by more sirens than I've heard in a long time. Found out a few hours later that it was a double shooting on the pier just down the beach from where we are staying.
