Planes

Without a tripod this is the only one that worked.

We just got back from our day at the airport. What a day. I've been to air shows where you could touch the planes, but being able to stand 20 feet away from them while they power up and taxi away was exciting for us.
Most impressed by the Avenger with it's big engine. The B-29 flew over us at about 500 feet. We were maybe 100 feet away when it powered up for a flight. A P-51 flew over at about 200 feet. The viewing area is only a couple of hundred feet from the runway. There were T-34s, Spitfire, Zero, T-6, P-51, Avenger, and two Russian planes in last years pictures.
We hung around with an 80 year old retired General that flys a T-34. My wife was supposed to take a flight with him but he was booked and very tired. A boy about 10 got in and off they went.
Long story short a plane was in trouble and soon they flew over with the landing gear about half extended. The police and security cleared everyone out. In the end all was well except the plane. The General did a belly landing right on the stripe.
That delayed the next flight of the B-29 until they cleared the plane off the runway. It just went by the house. We had a few chats with the pilot and his wife and later with the boy and his family. What a memory for him.
I'm not an airplane nut but this sure was a fun weekend. Pictures later.

Here is the General when the plane had it's wheels. The B-29 flying and taxi-ing.

And after.

When working in two-dimensional Euclidean space, the definite article is used, the plane, to refer to the whole space. Many fundamental tasks in geometry, trigonometry, and graphing are performed in two-dimensional space, or in other words, in the plane. A lot of mathematics can be and has been performed in the plane, notably in the areas of geometry, trigonometry, graph theory and graphing .
