I live very close to small airport in the Bay Area, fortunately most flights are either North/South flight paths. Couple of private jets take off and land every morning around 6:30am

People can be interesting at times. I snap this picture before the "formal" pose of the group picture and as you can tell I wasn't the main person taking the picture by the angle.
Technically, I'm not close at about 15 miles from the primary Orlando airport everyone knows, but I do "suffer" the consequences. With north/south runway, for planes using runway C they were typically following the coastline, cutting over between Daytona and Canaveral (great aerial views of NASA launch complex) are turning final approach about 10-15k feet above my house. Small planes up to corporate jets (and helicopters and blimps) typically don't use OIA for obvious reasons and use the convenience the original/pre-Disney airport close to downtown, know as Executive Airport. Both have control towers and Executives runways are east/west and fly under the approach path for OIA with it's normal flight pattern two miles south of me, so I rarely hear the traffic, but will see off at a distance. It is very near and sits between two major highways (SR50 and toll 408 known as the East West) and very surprised the pilot didn't use either of those.
This morning they interviewed the pilot. Noted the "engine problem" was his fault as he ran out of fuel. Didn't go into detail if failed to check on pre-flight (which other news reports with graphics of his flight path from airport suggest) or fuel mismanagement on return, failing to fill up at a distant airport.

On my morning hike, had to use up 4 frames to develop the roll so took the camera with me. Will have to go back as couldn't get the shot I wanted - sleeping lady with grass cover artwork had landscapers working on her spreading fertilizer on the grass that was visible.
That is why I dislike taking group photos and have actually pasted heads over from a similar shot. Typically, I don't hire out for weddings but try to help the photographer out, pointing out to the group that the photographer is the one being paid for the official photos...so don't look at Aunt Matilda, Uncle Bobo and the dufus cousin all with their phone cameras out recording the moments you will never see beyond the short shelf life of social media.People can be interesting at times.

.. have always liked this plant, and leaves - noticed it was flowering now - via an early-morning walkabout yesterday.
Last of the Big Rock shots. Shot from near the Rock facing east towards the Frank Slide. The fisherman in the upper left had some tough slogging to get to that point.

Full disclosure; this is now my iPhone locked screen wallpaper. Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome! I take it as quite a compliment!
