Let's play Family Feud! What are the top things you expect to see at a City Park?
Hi everyone, Dani here.
If you didn’t immediately think about a small single engine aircraft, well, that makes two of us! There I was driving down William Street in Carson City when I looked over at Mills Park and I saw something out of the ordinary, dare I say out of place (?) : a Cessna 182P. (Yes, I looked it up.)
Naturally I had to divert to take a photo. ;)
Some immediate thoughts I had on this were:
- LOOK!! THERE’S AN AIRPLANE IN A CITY PARK!!! 
- Why is there a plane in a city park? (National Night Out) 
- From ballooning - how did they get permission from the land owner? (Well, it was a sponsored event, and they also landed to helicopters later in the evening. ) 
- That’s a short field landing, in grass, with pants on! (Clearly not a skirt because each “leg” is separately encased.) - a. That means it’s also going to be a short field take off, in grass. 
- I’ve never landed or taken off in grass….. 
- Look at those powerlines and trees!
