Nice picture of the formation flight, Jay, but....

What the heck is that filthy rag doing hanging on Atlas's door?

First, man, find a different place to hang something that filthy... Like the
trash can? <g>

Second, you should have done a bit of Photoshop work, to get rid of it. You
might have won first place! <g>

The photo would have been a lot nicer if he'd have hung his dirty
laundry someplace else. :-)

Hey, some of us have a deep respect for a man with a well-used oil rag.
It means something, y'know?

So what do they give you after the ballcap?

Well, they offered to send me another ball cap (even though I got beat
out by some VERY cool pix), but I declined. The LAST thing I need is
more ball caps...

The rag in the pic was what I had just used to wipe the dew off the
wings. SNF (and OSH) are VERY dusty environments, but the dew is
heavy enough to wash it off -- IF you get up early enough to wipe 'em
down.

Obviously I didn't put any "planning" into the picture, or I would
have removed said rag. But the opportunity arose, there was no
danger, so I took the shot...

<chuckle>

Yeah, I know. I have shop rags that look that bad, too. Thing is, I throw
them somewhere where they will not get anything dirty, instead of hanging
them up.

Besides that, I never pass up an opportunity to "rag" on Jay! <G>

That is your dew rag?

Man, pack another towel, and use a clean cloth for rubbing down the dew. I
would think that a rag like yours would smear oil all over everything.

Well, that *was* "Day 5" of being on the field. Clean rags don't
exist after, oh, say, "Day 3".

Now THERE'S something you don't see every day.... a Goony Bird leading
a formation of Yaks & Nanchangs...

Only at SNF I 'spose <G>

Hmmm. The picture could be greatly improved with cropping and editing.
Still, nice shot, Jay.
