Let's play Family Feud! What are the top things you expect to see at a City Park?

Hi everyone, Dani here.

If you didn’t immediately think about a small single engine aircraft, well, that makes two of us! There I was driving down William Street in Carson City when I looked over at Mills Park and I saw something out of the ordinary, dare I say out of place (?) : a Cessna 182P. (Yes, I looked it up.)

Naturally I had to divert to take a photo. ;)

Some immediate thoughts I had on this were:

  1. LOOK!! THERE’S AN AIRPLANE IN A CITY PARK!!!

  2. Why is there a plane in a city park? (National Night Out)

  3. From ballooning - how did they get permission from the land owner? (Well, it was a sponsored event, and they also landed to helicopters later in the evening. )

  4. That’s a short field landing, in grass, with pants on! (Clearly not a skirt because each “leg” is separately encased.)

    a. That means it’s also going to be a short field take off, in grass.

  5. I’ve never landed or taken off in grass…..

  6. Look at those powerlines and trees!
