I just saw a rather large aircraft fly by.

Was treading a beach a few hours ago, saw Hawaii Mars, I believe it was. Flew by three times, the first the lowest/closest I think, truly breathtaking. Very, very loud.
Despite what Wikipedia may tell you, there were no Snowbirds. Rather, there were other propeller aircraft. One biplane, with a blue nose and trail it used once, another single-engined aircraft, and what I’m tempted to say was a Catalina, though I am not certain. It had black engine nacelles, anyhow.

That was a pleasant surprise.

    @126 Had to do some supply scouting too. Unfortunately I wasn't able to nab any steel plates for Fillets.

    @126 I’d rather not post my exact location on the internet, thank you very much.
    It was a beach on Vancouver Island. Actually quite a nice place, managed to scare a few people by collecting a rather obscene number of crabs for one hand.

    @126 I mean off Google. I looked up the name, and had no shortage of images of the plane, or at least one of similar model.

    @126 Unfortunately not. I did not have a camera of any sort with me.
