TerribleT Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Lovely shots, nice aeroplane! The COVID state border there was initially "hard" but common sense prevailed eventually and a "bubble" with permits for local residents to travel to and fro as needed was installed. All other travelers were turned away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
