B-29 Cockpit
The B-29 Cockpit seems quite large. Tomorrow, a few lucky people will be able to fly in FiFi. What a view! Notice anything a bit out of place; perhaps, something not available in the 1940s?

Alaska near Eagle River
Alaska near Eagle River This image was captured some years ago (before digital) in Alaska during a hike along the Eagle River. A V600 scanner scanned a small print to yield this image. Why Alaska? Well, yesterday’s image of a Piper Super Cub, the preferred bush plane in Alaska, made me think about my Alaska trip. I’m still researching to determine which camera took this image since I took three with me.
Piper PA-18 Super Cub on Floats
This Piper PA-18 Super Cub on Floats was practicing water take-offs and landings last weekend; a clear reminder of float plane weekend in a couple of weeks. It’s a weekend where some of the world’s finest pilots get together to go back to their roots; flying stick and rudder in float planes.
