    Nothing like a sunset from above!

    First off I know this photo doesn't qualify but wanted to share it anyway becasue it really is a great aviation photo that captures a moment in time.

    There is nothing like a sunset from above! This photo was taken by my good friends Bobbie and Richard Chappell of Bellevue Nebraska when they came to see my new to me toy, a 1985 Starflight ultralight. I keep it hangered at the Scribner Nebraska Airbase which is now a state of Nebraska run airfield. It was an important bomber training base during WWII and in the early 1950's was the "backup" airport for Offutt AFB in the event of an atomic war. Now it is a sleepy little airport with a very interesting history and lots of older airplanes and ultralights. If you are flying thru Nebraska take a minute to touch down on the same runway that thousands of young men flew training missions from. You can almost hear the big radials still singing in the Nebraska wind.
