Diversions, Diversions

Due to bad weather on the east coast, many flights bound for various east coast cities like Boston, and New York were diverted to Syracuse. They were as follows: US 711 -a 762 from Zurich, DL 632-a 752 from Seattle, JB 174-an A320 from San Jose CA, CO 71- a 764 from Amsterdam, JB 1290-an E190 from Pittsburgh, AA 258-a 752 from Las Vegas, NW 630-an A319 from Memphis, NW 542-an A320 from Detroit, COM (Delta connection) 537-a CR1 from Buffalo, AA 710-A 738 from Dallas-Fort Worth, US 701-an A333 from Frankfurt, US 753-a 762 from Stockholm, CO 818-a 735 from Houston, JB 594-an A320 from Orlando, Dl 10-a 752 from Los Angeles, and KLM 641-a 744 from Amsterdam. All of these flights eventually proceeded to there final destinations after varying periods of time in Syracuse.
Harborfest
Last weekend was Harborfest time in Oswego, NY, an event which I went to. At one point I looked up and saw 4 ultralights flying around and they were all the same design withy a parasail for a wing connected to a small frame with 3 wheels, an engine, small gas tank, and a seat. The fireworks show on SAturday night which is one of the biggest in the country was made even more spectacular this year by the presence of a thunderstorm to the east whose lightning display added a magic backdrop to show and made it the best fireworks display I've ever seen.
