Here we are at Stroudwater Marsh heading into the city. This is another view I enjoy. Portland Jetport is to the right in this image. Back in my past, when the old Eastern Airlines was the only game in town, we often took my Aunt Gloria to the airport on her trips back and forth to Europe(she taught at various Air Force bases throughout the continent). In these later years, J- and I often stopped by when my college buddy flew a Delta jet to the city. He always mentioned that his favorite approach was over the water, along the rocky coast, by Portland Headlight, over the city and up the river. How neat that must be!

Such a nice picture, as I have told you in other comments, Birdman, I live right up the road from a pond a behind them are 3 swamps. The pond has been low lately, but it will fill up!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful nature and I enjoyed a lot your idea about the river coast.You have always a story inside your "heart"!

That approach must afford a fabulous view!
ReplyDeleteYou've never flown into Portland/caught that sight your buddy mentioned?
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice nature photo. I think I see some level ground for landing on the right, but not sure.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing quite as beautiful as a marsh and you have really captured it here. I always enjoy your stories and I remember Eastern Airlines, too.
ReplyDeleteSC, yes I have but NEVER in the cockpit! hahaha
ReplyDeleteWell, it is a gorgeous sight and I'm glad for your commentary and I can now imagine coming in for a landing with this out the window. And I'm not a pilot!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Is this a salt marsh? Yes, I bet it is quite a lovely sight approaching the airport over this marsh. Many years ago I was a frequent passenger in a small private plane that flew out of Beverly, Massachusetts. The pilot liked to follow the coastline from Gloucester to Plum Island and even further north. The coast is beautiful from the air.
ReplyDeleteI remember Eastern airlines too! Nice photo.
