The first 5 shots are of Dick Lemons one day out at beautiful Liberty Landing International Air Port when he was showing off... ( which is all the damn time!! ) making some high-speed ( Ho Hum.. Yawn.. Is he here yet?...) passes down the runway. The images with the brown backgrounds were winners of the AVWEB Photos Of The Week. The second one is Mark Pierce making a sharp pull-up while making a high-speed ( Another Big Yawner ), low-level smoke pass with his Marvin Story smoke system pumping it's little guts out. The rest of them are shots taken over the years we've been flying these little jewels. Mark's doing the low passes down the runway. The names of some of the images will give you information too. Some are scanned from photos taken before digital cameras made their (affordable) appearance.
WARNING!! Some of these are really big mommas. The sizes range from 174K to 1.6 meg.
All of the digital images were taken with an OLYMPUS D490Z digital camera on "HQ" setting in the "sequential mode." Then I used the "instant fix" feature that comes with the Olympus software that came with the camera. The scanned images were taken with a variety of 35mm film cameras.
