Nope, if I'm right about who you mean, he wasn't flying with us this summer.

Hey Rowdy

Great pictures of the YBL area looks as good as when I was there 24 years ago. Except the docks were full of airplanes in those days.

One more. The camera caught our tanker with the probes retracted, water venting through the overflows just as the aircraft was rotating. Awesome!

Heres a nice pic I forgot I had. I took this at Sudbury Aviation on Whitewater Lake early one morning while I was waiting for glassy water conditions to complete that part of my seaplane rating.

Nice shots JS,

Yes, the D3 is just silly in low-light, nice to see Canon has done a good job on the 5D.
