As the title says this thread is about your view from home. I thought I would give this a try and see it goes

Basically just take a picture from your house (or maybe a few hundred feet above it!) and post it here! And don't worry if it's not spectacular Wink

Here is my view:

You won't get many pics unless we post just the link as the thread limit is 600k.

The runway lies between the Shed and the Lilac Tree.
It is regularly mown, and constantly inspected for Mole/Rabbit Holes. (Dangerous to nose-wheels!)...>>>

My humble hamlet. Nothing special, but we like it.

Chuck, if you find those AI tumbleweeds, let me know. Grin

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

I found the tumbleweeds at Edwards AFB, but unfortunately, they are static, not animated. But...
better than none at all.
