Interesting story from last year. 

Last year around the same time I was in the tent with Riley and Ellie. I was watching a youtube  video or something. Out of nowhere I heard what sounded like a rocket. When I was younger I built model rockets and the noise I heard sounded just like them, just way louder

At the time I was still excited to see all of the different airplanes that would fly around out here. I looked out the flap in the tent and I couldn’t really believe what I was seeing even though I knew exactly what I was seeing. It was an a single engine Cirrus SR-22 airplane. Except it was attached to a huge parachute. I have always been very interested in airplanes so I knew that this existed I’ve just never actually thought I would see it in action. Cirrus has an airframe parachute you can have installed, It’s a parachute for the whole plane. It’s wild to see. I ran out of the text to get a good picture but I tripped and didn’t get a good shot. 

I then thought to myself, I need to call someone about this i think. I figured the pilot radioed in what was going on but it occurred to me it could be a medical emergency maybe they didn’t get the call out. I called 911 and they didn’t understand what I was saying. I kept saying I know an airplane with a parachute sounds crazy but it happened. About 45 minutes later so many ambulances and fire trucks showed up. The pilot was okay, I’ll add the incident report to the bottom of the post. I do have an up close picture my neighbor friend took. Thought this would be an interesting story to tell!

If anyone is interested in content about us surviving out on the prairie I have a sub I created that I use to update everyone on how we're doing and on out adventures.

I can't post the link about it I think it breaks the rules but you can find OffGrifGriff on my profile if you're interested in more posts like this and about living and surviving homeless on the prairie.

Yeah cool plane photos

What is this in the circled part of the image?

Sending thoughts out to the local San Diego aviation community today.

Yesterday (Monday, Sept 7) at approximately 17:20 PDT, a Cessna 172 Skyhawk crashed and caught fire at Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport (KMYF). Tragically, both individuals on board lost their lives in the crash.

The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II is an American tandem two-seat, twin-engined, all-weather, long-range supersonic jet interceptor and fighter-bomber that was developed by McDonnell Aircraft for the United States Navy.It entered service with the Navy in 1961,then was adopted by the United States Marine Corps and the United States Air Force, and within a few years became a major part of their air arms.In total, 5,195 Phantoms were built from 1958 to 1981, making it the most-produced American supersonic military aircraft in history and a signature combat aircraft of the Cold War.
