Sciandri Vineyards' winged foot of Nike?


300 meter view of Sciandri Family Vineyards. Notice the shape of the Lake, and back vineyard, taking on the form of the winged foot of Nike... Ok, maybe it's just me?


Wayne Lackey of Wine Country Helicopters took us up for his aerial view of the Napa Valley (thanks, Ron & Roberta!)... Wayne is a shoe in for Napa's most interesting characters top 20 list, and to say he's simply a "tourguide" is an understatement. He's more of a birdman, carefully tucking his mutant wings into the back of his shirt so as not to freak out his passengers.
This photo is not posed in any way, we all figured he was checking for what migratory bird patterns he would need to avoid. That, or he was feeling out wind patterns in order to pull off his signature 2g wine country heli-dive, during which he was sure to yell out his motto "drop altitude - gain airspeed!"
Thanks, Again, Wayne! awesome show.
