I feel starry-eyed and vaguely discontented,
Like a nightingale without a song to sing.
I'd say that I have Spring fever,
But it isn't even sp. . . . . .
Well, we're almost there! :)

bIt's been a productive day despite spending more than a FRUSTRATING hour trying to copy pictures onto a portable hard disk for an American Aviation Historical Association friend Hayden Hamilton. My "computer B" has hit a major snag and I will have to run it over to Hyperion to untangle my thread of ineptitude. Pictured here are SAR 2006 performers Terry Calloway & The Red Stars,
flying Nanchang CJ-6s and Yakovlev Yak 52s, Lima Lima Flight Team and their Four Beech T-34 Mentors, and U.S. Jet Team flying French-manufactured Fouga Magisters painted in the colors of the French Air Force demonstration team. I was privileged to ride back seat in the lead aircraft during SAR's media preview day. I'll post some pics from my flight in a few days. When not warming my desk chair, I am slowly rearranging the unshepherded CLUTTER here to suggest a better organized collection on the heels of that harem-scarem YEAR of 2001 and this far into 02. I can tolerate more disarray than visitors are liable to consider "rampant desolation."
I am also s l o w l y doing the same thing with the plastic model building workshop room. I truly PREFER a neater house, and since I'm no longer employed, I have the time to make things nicer, not only to satisfy visiting goodpeople. . . but to satisfy myself.
Keep your sunny side UP!

Dan Buchanan flew powered flying machines before he lost the use of his legs in a skiing accident. Remarkably he's back flying at air shows after transitioning from conventional wings to performing with a hang glider with colorful smoke tracing his performance. I will try to post more pictures of his awesome talent ABOVE this post.
