Scott, it it everything everyone has already said, but the fact that it has your initials on the tail truly blows my mind! 🌋

[Joe Copalman]

Scott, you already know that's one of my favorites, but an OV would be truly divine. 

[Scott Youmans]

Thanks Matt and Joe! Yeah, I was a couple of decades too late for the OV-10. If I had know better way back when I probably could have done it.  Oh well!

Huey over Dunes -  This photos was featured on the Air & Space Smithsonian website few years ago.

Wow....  What a cool image.  Nicely done Scott.   

[Scott Youmans]

Thank you Anna! It was 113 degrees that day and humid. Thunderstorms were forming to the west, north, and east. I was concerned that the storms over the mountains to the west would block the sun but it all worked out.
