Hey Chicken Hawk.. Is that LCW? Looks like a lake I used to fly into a few (ok maybe more than a few) years ago.. Course back then LCW was yellow and had a round engine on it!!!

Spinner, that pic way back there on page 20 something looks like Porkies place in Pickle to me. Just in case nobody got around to guessing in the next 40 pages or so....

Wow, that's a perfect photo. Reminds me of seeing the black F-14 for the first time.

That's right Raven; today is the first anniversary of Craig's last "flight". I am asking for a minute of silence with those who knew him.

Miss you my friend!

I do indeed! She had a round engine on her too!! I was mostly a NPQ guy for the summer I was there though! Perhaps we've met? I was there in 95 although I was in the area from 91.

This is a little different from most pics posted here but it's one of my best shots. Taken from the jump-seat of an A310 @ FL370 around Florida. Heading north.

Taken with one hand while bucketing on this little "town fire...." An airplane one for you, albeit a smokey distant one. ;-)

Boy, the twin otter looks a lot better on floats with the long nose. Max's paint job doesn't hurt either. That pic of SOX at the top of the page is stunning.
