I recall more this morning. One was hosted at Ann Arbor Airport (ARB) and the other at Willow Run Airport (YIP), Ypsilanti. One to cover major car race out in Jackson that weekend, the other to cover the Woodard Dream Cruise (major car event), officially Saturday, but participants and sponsors have plenty to do in the days before the cruise (best traffic jam I was in, ever!). They were giving rides to invited guests of Goodyear dealerships on this Thursday or Friday. I went to the terminal and tried. "I'm here for my ride". "Your name, please?" (host checks list). Me: "Oh, drat! Can I be on standby?". "No, sorry. Were you watching the landing?". Had a good chat with the terminal crew/hosts, though. I did get some good video of landing and take-off at the fence just off the road. Others were joining me, some from deliberately looking for it, some from just pulling off the road.
At the time I caught them less than a mile away from the Ann Arbor airport, they where a heading that would have taken them over my house.
