  • 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.

harvest in iowa

combine-blog.jpg

I am spending a couple weeks at home in Iowa, arriving just in time for harvest season. I was thinking this might be the first time I've been home this time of year since, well, high school. The farm is in action - all the farms around here are in action. I might even ride in the combine this week, which would be the first time I've done that since I was, errr, 10? This is my brother Ben combining corn - he has forbade me from putting his picture on the blog in the past so this is as close as Ben will ever come to making an appearance here!
