If you want to go up, pull back on the controls. If you want to go down, pull back farther.

Re: BCP dominates AvWeb POTW....again!

Thanks guys! Ha, the only reason I sent it in is because John G won and I was making the JC video.

Let's keep it up BCP, we'll be sporting a bunch of AvWeb caps at the 2011 JC fly-in. Maybe I should land at Soldier Bar and take the same picture with me wearing the cap. :)

Re: BCP dominates AvWeb POTW....again!

Matt, That is a nice picture. When you think about it, it is kind of hard to make even the coolest airplanes look great sitting on a concrete ramp, but any of our old tail draggers can look fantastic in the right back country setting. jg

No, I never got mine. I figured it was because I gave them an address that I no longer reside at. Some new tenant there is sporting an AvWeb hat maybe.

Great shot Matt! Really nice pic. Some planes just look as if they are meant to be operated in scenic mountain environments.
