Mendocino

It had been decided that the 'girls' needed a change from the dragstrip, so a trip to Dave & Nancy's cabin in Mendocino was planned. It's a four hour drive from the strip, so Dave kindly offered to fly us there in his plane. Getting used to small planes now...it's a lot more scary than the big jets!

A large jet flew over us and we hit it's trail with dramatic results. We literally dropped from the sky, before levelling out again. Dave reckons the air traffic controller stuffed up and we should have been a lot lower!

Landed at Little River Airport just out of Mendocino and collected our rental car. This airport was the last stop for the B52 bombers before leaving for Japan during the war. A quiet little place...hard to imagine war planes buzzing around it.
