King Air 90 and Cessna 172 on the ramp today
We headed out to the airport after picking up a pizza for lunch. She loves her airplanes and her Daddy. She especially loves visiting all the aircraft on the ramp with her tricycle.
Pyper was quick to notice and comment "that's not Daddy's airplane." While the Greenville King Air is down for maintainence, "405," as the backup plane is called, is sitting on the ramp.
Nothing like a full belly and a little exercise to tucker her out. Luckily she found a comfy spot to nap.

As we left the hangar, the skies opened up on us, "what is rain?" Pyper asked. I responded with "the air's inability to hold all the moisture." That left her thinking and no more questions were asked for the moment. But the rain situation did leave us in a pickle as we were on our way to burn off some 2 year-old energy. Fortunately the down pour opened up to blue skies ahead. Time to put on rain gear and find some puddles quick before the 80 degree heat dries them up.
We pretty much have a local puddle map and know where the closest puddles can be found. Afterall, we are professional puddle jumpers.
The word hangar is a noun that denotes a large building with an extensive floor area, which is typically used for housing and maintaining aircraft.
The word hanger is also a noun that denotes an item used to hang things (usually clothing). It can also refer to a person who hangs things, but this is not a common usage.
She's still got a lot of PNW in her so the puddles are calling to her drip-tastic PNW nature.
