All my old friends are back for another summer, and it's been great having them around again.  I've met a few new airplanes as well, and enjoyed some interesting conversations with their pilots.  I've had the pleasure of a few incredible flights this summer and hopefully there will be a few more!  I just can't seem to stay on the ground for too long.  From the sound of a Beaver just off the water only 20 yards away, to the sight of the Lake Superior shoreline from 1000 feet,  to the feel of the spray of a water drop, airplanes will always continue to inspire me, all the while making me incredibly lonesome for some time in the air.
