We noticed a couple new murals at the airport, too. This one is on the outside of a hangar that faces the parking lot for the restaurant. It's big and bold, and quite impressive! I noticed Jonathan noticing it as we headed to the car after breakfast. I love this photo.

We also got to see this 1941 Stearman Army Biplane take off. It's slow, but very cool. This one is used for aerial tours of St. Pete, which can apparenty include an acrobatics option.

Jake's dream plane is the Bonanza. It would be my choice, too...if I was a pilot and if I was in the market for a plane! We watched this one on the ramp right below our table all the way through takeoff. He gave a nice wing wave on the way out, too. Beautiful plane.

Jake's leaving for home tomorrow, so, of course, we had to have breakfast at Albert Whitted airport in St. Pete this morning! It was a beautiful day for it, too. Perfect weather, and the airport had decent activity for us to watch. Great morning.

Thirty seconds before this shot, the dog was wearing a pair of headphones. Two minutes before that, he climbed out of the door in front of the woman, shortly after landing. How fun that must be – flying with you dog!

Plane spotting with Jake and Renee for breakfast. This is Jake's happy place, for sure.
