James Weibe sent in this photo and note: “That’s my Sonex in the foreground and a business jet at Colonel James Jabara Airport (KAAO) in Wichita. Nice contrast! I figure that the operating costs on the bizjet for two hours are roughly equal to the entire purchase cost of my airplane.”

Foggy mornings are common on the island and to get a clear sunrise in late summer like this is rare.”
