Rainy Days

In Line for Takeoff
Landing in Minneapolis
On Approach In Boston
Downtown Boston over the Airport

This trip was a wet one. Much of the country was covered with rain. It seemed like everywhere we went we were bouncing along in the storms. The top pictures we are leaving Minneapolis. A departure leaves about every 2 minutes and in between those departures there is an aircraft landing. As you can see one airplane lands and one takes off. When you land you better be right on because an airplane is sitting right next to the runway waiting to take off. There is always a audience watching your landings.

The next pictures is coming into Boston. It is a very cool city filled with history. The freedom trail is downtown and takes you past so many historical sites. The Boston Tea Party as you have studied is just one of the famous historical events that happened there. The airport is surrounded by water so I have to make sure I don't land short or roll of the end. Swimming would not be good there. The city is very close to the airport as you can see by the picture where you can see the downtown buildings over the airport terminal. There is a train that runs from the airport right to downtown. Very cool. A lot of ships will come into Boston and off load their goods in those giant containers you see stacked up and eventually those items will get shipped to our home town. Boston is one my favorite cities to visit as you really can see how our country was formed.
