What's the opposite of joy? Sorrow?

The sorrow of winter float flying. Have broom, will travel.

Nice photos guys but I actually thought that this one was going to be a cub on skis or a 185 landing in powder. Come on ski guys, give me a fix.

Don't they dop that on purpose to raise the wing over the dock? Or am I being totally blonde and missing some sort of sarcasm?

Basic Flying Rules: 'Try to stay in the middle of the air. Do not go near
the edges of it. The edges of the air can be recognized by the appearance
of ground, buildings, sea, trees and interstellar space. It is much more
difficult to fly there.'
