Random airplane flying around near WindSeeker:

A Piper Cub, how interesting. Random you say? Inconspicuous by most maybe, but I shall say far from random..........Oh what's that Terpy term? Oh yes; saying just enough so I don't say too much.

(Very nice pictures by the way)

I figured there was a reason for that plane to be flying overhead, but I said random because I didn't expect to see it
