Mrs. oksmle & I were airborn by about 10:00 tonight & flew Ol' Bob (Cessna 150E) about 20 miles East of our airport where we were out of the reflections of OKC, then looking many miles away to the Northeast, (just about over Sundog's house) we enjoyed an hour or so of meteor watching. At least the Mrs. did. I was busy flying the plane. Seemed like every time she would say, "Oh, look at that one," I was occupied with other things inside the cockpit. In an hour's time I probably saw 8 or 10, whereas she saw at least twice that many.
You folks fortunate enough to reside in rural areas probably don't have to make a special effort to see something like this. In our case the plane sure comes in handy.... Ya' shoulda' seen the July 4th fireworks from 4500 feet .....
