During a ten-day stay in Chattanooga I visited Point Park three times and each time I was treated to a different spectacle. A hazy day with a canon pointed at downtown.

After a few moments the pilot pushes the throttle to maximum and the sound of the engines covers my ears like a noisy earmuff.

This it the Airport Observation Park at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport, and this is where I had breakfast.
