Golf course my brother is going to play on in a few days. and the back side of his house

Red Roofed building here is the Virginia School For the Deaf, that my brother teaches at. The lousy pics are of the blue ridge mountains (don't ahve a polarized lens)

WTG Dingbat, nice pics! Was this your first flight period, or just a first trip out to Chesapeake Bay?

They loaded quick for me, and were great pix for sure.

WTG! I'd put a red flag on that tow bar too. Believe it or not, people do take off with them if they are stiff enough, and they are a prop stopper if they kick up in flight or landing.

Good Grief!

There's a flying dragonn in one of those pics!

Hey NO HARBORING CHINEESE DRAGONS!

I never understood why the chineese or oriental dragons look like worms in the sky...

Nice pics indeed.

Hmm... isn't Orange County in California and Cheasapeake Bay on the east coast ? Long trip.

LOL, that was on the negative, but not in any other pictures... I suspect the chemicals were contaminated.
