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... :confused:

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