The server makes thumbnails of pics now, I have also upgraded the attachment size limit. Click on a pic to see it's original upload size.

Some more.
If the Airline Pilot of Mango is, who I think he is, (Dave King) I'm going to MAKE him fly in a trike ## :P
Had a few cold ones at the Toy Shop (Larry's hanger) afterwards and if I knew you guys were going to return could have stayed a bit longer.

Nope :roll:

Nice pics though.

The sunset pic you took of all 4 must have been seconds before they flew over Larry's Hangar and then routed back to Panorama

You mean 250 m long.

I must compliment the Snake formation team as I believe it must be one of the best world wide.

Well done guys - DISH Gaylord and I watched the display together and we all agreed that we were in awe of the jop you guys did in the wind conditions.
