Anthony Bonner Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 no shame in a Turbo Prop Chambo. More "Cute Insta model" than "clapping 10's" but no shame. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joe, you of all people know Chambo to be a man who is always, ALWAYS, on point ! Why in the world would I waste your time and my time with a frickin' photo of Hyannis in THIS thread ! Makes no sense, Joe, right ? Last hint ... exactly 4 minutes after the prior photo I took this pic ... so what's this pic and the prior ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted October 16, 2021 Author Share Posted October 16, 2021 Jones Beach? I'm never up in the air (at least not to my knowledge) over the cape; I'm more grounded at this level... I did try to drive right up to Hopper's old stomping grounds in Truro, but the road is now private and closed. So - are you MAYBE up over Provincetown and Wellfleet?

That's a much better guess, Joe I'll give you the gory details since you're a Cape and P-town lover ... Here's pic 1 again ... to situate you, we are heading north towards Wellfleet, flying over the water, having passed First Encounter Beach and Campground Beach on our right … that’s forested Great Island in the foreground on the upper right and behind it you see the full curve of the bayside part of the outer cape and the entire P-town peninsula … that tiny white vertical line / fleck that you can make out (barely, in the MF blurry, crappy, low-res version ... you probably need to click on the photo) is the Winslow Street water tower … it’s pretty much dead center from left to right … interestingly the more well-known Pilgrim Monument, which is much taller and would be next to it on the right, is not visible (because it’s grey granite … in fact, it's the tallest granite structure in the country, I might add) Pic 2 is Wellfleet Harbor … we are still heading north … and Great Island would be on our left In Pic 3 we are approaching the P-town peninsula … and now you can make out both the white Winslow Street water tower and the grey, more slender Pilgrim Monument to its right … the two tallest structures in P-town Joe, watch out ... we are coming in closer !

Chambolle Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Here's your beloved P-town, up close and personal from up in the air ... It's a shame the resolution on MF is so lame because I see perfect clarity on individual cars on the beach and the individual lighthouse buildings etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share Posted October 18, 2021 Merci mon ami. I was wondering where Pilgrim Tower went - especially after remembering how aggravated I was climbing the thing. Nice snaps - it's a pretty nice place to visit, as they say...

I’d show you a pic of the cockpit but it shows the tail number and with that you could track him and all his flights. People worry about privacy … you have someone’s tail number and you know their plane’s every move, every coming and going. And, yes of course, he also has a jet … he’s had a jet for over 20 years since before the dot com boom when everyone and their sisters got jets ... This tracking is so easy now it's automated ... in fact this college freshman is trying to parlay his privacy-intruding @ElonJet twitter account into an Elon internship ... some nice bidding is going on ... Elon offered $5k if the kid would can the account ... kid said add a zero cuz that would help with tuition and maybe give him enough coin for a cool (Elon) car ... Musk is mulling that over but Elon has yet to respond ... kid thinks that's because Elon's on vacay on Maui ... and it sure seems like it, per @ElonJet ... well, at least Elon's 2015 Gulfstream G650 is there ... A crappy, old 2015 G650 ! Pfffffffft, seriously embarrassing, Elon ! You'd think the guy could afford a reasonably up-to-date rig for Heaven's sake ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
