  • 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.

mississippi river

Mom, Leslie, Ryan and I are visiting my Aunt Cina at her place on the Mississippi River in southern Wisconsin near Prairie du Chien. Cina has a trailer she parks here all summer and spends many if not most weekends here spring through fall. Yesterday and today Ryan fished off the dock and caught perch, crappie and bluegills. He also drove the boat, played in the leaves, ate s'mores, went to the pumpkin patch and...took a 2.5 hour nap today.

Cina and her friends have been coming to the river "for 50 years" but she only had a trailer here for the last 10 or so.
