Link to a Washington Post article detailing the planes of the Flyover
The Washington Kayak Club had this event on our calendar for about a month prior. We some 20 paddlers met at Columbia Island Marina. We launched in two waves.
One wave paddled up the Potomac from the Marina and the other wave took the Boundary Channel. We met where the Channel enters the Potomac. We waited for the planes just upriver of the Memorial Bridge.
While waiting we took the photo op with the Lincoln Memorial.
And finally, the planes came. I only had my phone and so did not get close ups, but I did okay. I really did not want to be glued to my electronics.
My wish this day was that we citizens of the USA remember how great we are as a nation, when we set our differences aside and focus on the task at hand. Let us not be divided but instead united by our love of our country. Keep her fair and just, truly free, for the common good of all citizens. Just this one wish in this beautiful moment in time.
Yeah, I am getting a little misty-eyed.
