The Palo Alto Airport hosted Airport Day on September 12, 2009. During the entire visit, we witnessed the constant buzz of small planes taking off and taxiing down the run way. We could also see up close planes of all shapes and sizes, as well as helicopters and gyroplanes. Little kids could also climb aboard a brilliant red Palo Alto fire engine and enjoy the view from inside the truck. I spotted a vendor selling a cup of frozen lemonade at a price that may have been higher than I had paid at Disneyland.
