Great Photos Jay. Lets hope that Photoshop CS6 removes smog.

@ Vance: Yeah, he really blends in, eh? 
@ Paul: My editing is somewhat gimped right now because my desktop computer is on the fritz and in need of a new video card.  So far, I've been f-ed over by Data Doctors and New Egg in trying to resurect my machine so I'm going to have to go brick & mortar shopping on Tuesday.

Yuck, I hate it when the computer goes down. When your back up and running I 'll love to know how to get rid of all that dust in the air by the mountains.

(Ok, it's actually Stellar...)

Wow, is that someone's house in the background...beautiful shot of the airplane and its surroundings.  Impressive!

[Jay Beckman]

Fairly certain that's one of Ron Pratt's hangars at Stellar.  That's who we just dropped in* to visit but he was tied up in a meeting.  About six American Huskies in one large hangar and a King Air 200 in another bay.  He also has a four-post lift in one corner so if he needs more room for cars, he can just drive it in, hoist it up and store it on a second level in the hangar.

(* I guess you can do this when you're a Warbird / Classic owner.  Needless to say, I did a lot of standing in the background, smiling...)
