Jason invited Terry, Gwen, and I to go flying with him one Saturday afternoon. It was really cool. Of course I took my camera, but only later remembered that I was shooting in default mode. I could have been taking pictures with a much higher resolution. Oh well, maybe next time.
Jason rented a very new (it still had new-plane smell) Cessna four-seater.

our house.

Then we kept flying south of town, and I'm pretty sure that the
observatory there is the MMT telescope on top of Mt. Hopkins.
