There are a few and they're all basically the same.  Caught the resident Philly airplane photo geek taking pictures earlier this year. Turned out he caught me.  Was it this one?

Yes sir, would you happen to have a larger one?

No, I live and work in the south central U.P.

However, the company I work for has a storage/test facility in O-town. (East side of the river right next to the breakwater.) On occasion I have the good fortune of spending quality time in the area.

 If you ever make it back to the U.P. I have to recommend you take a trip up into the Keweenaw Peninsula. Land your bird and spend an evening at the Keweenaw Mountain Lodge. Copper Harbor has some great history as well. If I could pick any other place to live, other than where I'm at, it would be in the Keweenaw.

 :salute

EDIT: Yeah, I know Sidnaw quite well too. And Frenchy, that was a great pic.

Do you know Diz and Brad Frederick? They are the caretakers of the airport up at Sidnaw and they have a fly-in every year. I should be back up that way labor day weekend.

While I do know some Fredericks, I can't say that I know those two.

Did you land at any other fields in the area?

Since folks are posting photos that mean something to them with aviation instead of favorite aircraft.
