5055100597 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Flew up to Monterey (KMRY) on Friday for a family visit; it happened to be the weekend of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, which for the layperson, is the most prestigious automotive exposition in the whole world. As such, there were a plethora of business jets: Dassaults, Gulfstreams, Citations, etc. Today (Saturday) KMRY ground said there were 70 jets on the field. We parked at Del Monte Aviation, where there were 25-30 GA planes, and a King Air 300 looked like a poor man's plane. Del Monte also had a G450 registered to the Royal Family of Bahrain, as well as a private 757-200. Here are some pictures, thought you might enjoy real-world KMRY. The plane is a 1964 Beechcraft Baron B55. Leaving on Saturday: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triplane Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Great pics. Thanks. I got my PPL from Del Monte Aviation at KMRY in 1959. Lived in Monterey until 1964. How the times have changed.... Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug I forgot this part....PPL cost in those days...The Cessna course was USD $620. Indeed, the times have changed..... Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarrad Marshall Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I am very jealous of your flight there PJC, and your shots are just stunning. As a funny coincidence, the source aerial imagery I used was taken on another one of these weekends, with a similar amount of luxury aircraft parked on the various ramps. This was the big reason why I included so many static corporate aircraft in the scenery, to reflect this aspect a little bit - in fact that B757 was added based on a couple of specific photos taken on that weekend a couple of years ago that I came across Cheers, Jarrad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
