| There were a lot of fires in the East Texas area that were contributing to the relatively poor visibility. They did help in guessing the winds, though. |
| This is the Atchafalaya River. I had to take a couple runs at pronouncing the name. Its kind of neat to see the differences in the layout, shape, and borders of the fields compared to wher eI usually fly. |
| We flew into New Orleans Lakefront airport and passed north of MSY on the way there. |
| This was a long bridge that cut straight across Lake Pontchartrain, Causeway Blvd. |
| A view of Causeway Blvd on the other side of the engine. The Mississippi River is in the background. |
| Famous(?) Lake Shore Park is apparently the marina for the N.O. side of the lake. Looks like a nice place to spend an afternoon. |
| Downtown New Orleans. The Superdome is on the right, the Mississipi River in the back, and a racetrack and fair grounds up front. |
| I'm not really sure what the function of this industrial facility is, but its BIG and its off the south side of Lakefront Airport. |
| There's a drawbridge for train tracks at the inlet of the Inner Harbor Navigation Channel. Neat. |
| On final for New Orleans Lakefront Airport. |
| We borrowed a courtesy car from GAC and they pointed us to Canal street. This is a shot at another drawbridge with the Channel in behind it. |
| The Acme Oyster House. A lineman at the FBO recommended this place and I would too. Pretty much everything on the menu looked good. All those people are in line to get in at 3PM. |

| Somebody put this sticker on the back window of the courtesy car. If I had to guess, I'd say it was those hoodlums from Randolph. |
| There was an election coming up and campaigners were literally on every street corner. We were stopped at a traffic light and somebody walked up to the car at started tossing flyers in the window. |
| The terminal at Lakefront. I bet this was a pretty cool place to be back in the '50s and '60s. |
| I just thought this was a neat shot of the engine and a contrail high above. |
| For having almost no legroom and only one switch and no buttons to play with, the back seat ain't that bad. I think I significantly contributed to an efficient CG as well. |
| Any guess on what kind of plane it was? |
