Hahaha, actually I wasn't kidding, early morning flight home and it wasn't a hundred feet thick, 20 minutes after the photo it was all burnt off, 5 miles west was clear and a million, I was running down the edge. The angle of the photograph looks like thick undercast, looking straight down you could see the ground, anyways, it's usually always a nice day above 10.

ok - nice pics but I think there's still a few including myself that need some pointers on sizing pics to fit here. What IS the optimum size and how is done in a normal pic file?

TIA

A while back somebody was wondering about this plane of Northcoast
Well, I just found it. Was parked at Woodcock BC for a few years but could not be certified as it had the wrong engines model numbers.

Was out test flying and shooting a brand new MD 530FF a couple days ago - sweet machine... a bunch more power than the D model 500's, and MUCH better at altitude, was a pleasure to give it a go.

Here are a few from the day.
