Whats the Coolidge flyin schedule? Is that a monthly thing? Might have to make the trip out for that some time - Maybe some of our Colorado members would fly down as well...

I'm up for it.....but it'll have to be one heck of a strong thermal day.

First Saturday of the month from October to May.

Sunrise until the Lions Club folks want to stop serving.

David: If you can make it grab onto the Remos on the way!

Nice work boys!

Glenn, There's something about that last perspective that puts it in the number one spot for me. Well done! I think it's time for a D800 Grasshopper.

Or you could wait until later this year and see if this rumor comes true.............If it does, I'm in, in multiples!

Come to think of it, I might just hold off on any upgrades until that rumor plays out. Man, would that knock Canon's nose in the dirt, two record breaking bodies on the market before Canon gets their first one out of the gate. Especially if Nikon holds to their announce it and release it timetable.

Canon has been concentrating on a myriad of 4K cameras, and video bodies. Maybe that's the direction they think things are going. That market seems to change so quickly, along with the product offerings, I'd be scared to drop 12-18 grand on a body.

52mp? I have to junk the new computer I just bought!

Skimming the surface..

Ok, that one and the other one are vying for number one, but I'm leaning toward that one! You have to be grinning from ear to ear Glenn. I'm proud of you!

Let's see "touchdown"! That light is incredible!!

I think I'd commission you to follow me down to some blue water in the islands if I was the owner. St. Thomas is nice this time of year!

Are those 1340's powering that bird?

I'm afraid I misrepresented the "moments before touchdown'...based on the high power setting and no flaps, i think that was a takeoff..

Its too bad glassy water is so difficult to land on - it would make for some amazing shots between the groundeffect pressure coming off the wings and a reflection..

Just kissing the water...

Funny you mention the islands - when I first met with the owner to talk about this project I asked him if he has a lakeplace, or mountain home or something to fly this too. His answer was "no - wanted the plane first. Now i'll find the reason to have it".. affirmative on the 1340's.


Large and in charge..

Just when I think it can't get any better, it does! Yes, glass would be something to behold. Glass and a little fog, if you're going to dream, might as well go all the way.

Glass and a little fog - every sea pilots dream enviroment for a safe landing!
Thanks for the nice comments. I'm passing out now.

Glenn

Ooooooooooooooo, pretty.

Glenn, buddy... I am absolutely speechless at how far your imagery has come, and how quickly. First and foremost, my congratulations for that achievement since we all know full well what kind of blood, toil, sweat, and tears that takes.

Second, some of those Mallard images I think are possibly your best ever. Wow.
