Only you could do it justice. But will you become photographic road kill? Do you care? Maybe we get Don's Piper Cub to hold your Nikon in the passenger compartment and you steer the camera? If you succeed.....its off to Afganistan with you....and military needs your skills....maybe you should just stay on the ground....we like having you around.

Did to me! Lightflight Dave definitely had the Monster Plane O The Day (well, that actually flew). Great stuff. This BBOB will probably become the Stuff Of Legend, full of feats and crashes even better than the ones that actually happened ... and it will partly be due to your dramatic images and interpretation. But the real thang was pretty fun too. When we weren't keeling over from the heat. Akkana sez: “Didn’t look like it hit that hard.” Did to me!

As usual your gift for capturing the moment is a wonder and a delight to read. Thanks for being a part of our hobby and sport. Can't wait to see the rest of the photo's.

Great people one and and all. This is true magic when so many can come together for something like this. This era at the park will be remembered as "Baylands Days" - the best of times. Perhaps the title of Pete's new Book! Pete? A fabulous article Pete - captured the moment as always!
