Nice work, John! Awesome photo.

I feel a connection to this shot even more as I got to fly that little bird...and I slept in that little scale house. :)

I would assume there will be some ski plane photos from this season coming soon or maybe a Swingle video....

Thanks guys! Zane started it by sending in one from the fly-in, and then another... So I sent them this from last year.

Greg just dropped off a Season Two DVD and I haven't watched it yet, but I suspect there is some ski flying in there?

Merry Christmas

Tempdoug...It was total luck. A Nikon D60 (I think?) with 70-300 zoom, but there was real nice light. I am one of those who take a ton of pictures and every once in a while a nice one turns up.
