These have become very popular in Texas, but I bet most of you guys haven't flown over one of these. I wish my photo was better. The arena is shaped like a keyhole. All the vaqueros are in full Mexican costume with huge sombreros. The events are pretty brutal on the cattle so these rodeos are held way out in the country.
I hope everyone had a great day of flying today!
Anyone ever been to a Mexican rodeo?

I have actually. One of the funnier things I have seen. Unlike American style rodeos, they are very hard on the livestock, bordering on animal cruelty in a lot of cases. What is entertaining though is no matter how hard or soft a fall the cowboy takes, it will render him unconscious and require several other cowboys to carry him out of the arena. It seems to be all about getting or appearing to be grievously injured rather than the actual performance with the animal...
Granted, I have only seen two. Maybe I shouldn't judge based on such a small sample size.

You have to make up your mind about growing up and becoming a pilot. You can't do both!
