  • Flying Cloud is the model name of our 1963 Airstream... now at large (but often just parked) in the 38th state.

history

  • Our Flying Cloud was built in Santa Fe Springs, California around 1962. Airstream manufactured the Flying Cloud model from 1950-1963, so this one was the end of the line.
  • It was originally registered as #11229 in the Wally Byam Caravan Club International, or so we have heard.
  • We took over this blog along with the trailer from the previous owners. We are the Flying Cloud's fifth owners.
  • An ad for a 1958 Flying Cloud.

change of scenery

A couple days ago Shannon suggested we come to Whidbey for the 4th. Michael usually isn't one for spontaneous travel but when it comes to the Pacific Northwest, all bets are off. So here we are. This is the fourth time we've been at the Whidbey house for the "last time." But this really is the last time - Shannon finally closed the deal on a house in Virginia and is moving back East next month.

The famous Whidbey house view. Sigh.

This is my office for the week.

Mount Baker and the islands. Michael got this awesome shot.

Hmmm, let's see...NoVA or Whidbey Island.....just not sure I think it's a fair trade. There must be a catch. Spent the 4th in NYC walking through a part of Manhattan I had not yet seen.
