 King Fisher2013 viewsSorry for the poor quality of the photo, it was taken several hundred yards from the royal subject.

Watched a pair of King fishers feeding and mating for quiet some time but, photographing them was very tough to do since they rarely sit still and were at such a distance.

The photo was taken on my recent trip to Middle Tennessee near Rock Island.

 Jose2110 viewsThis is Jose, one of our, shall we say extended crew members. Jose is taking a little R & R from cleaning bugs off the windshield of the Albatross, a job usually reserved for the Radioman and may I say, much easier while aircraft is parked.

The Osa Peninsula of Costa Rico is a perfect place for Jose to relax.

After a short dance session both Oldalbatross and snake were fine.

 Observer2055 viewsTypical observer, sharp eyes and very loud on Liberty.

There is a lot to be said for an aircraft with windows that open and a door between cockpit and aft section.

Osa Peninsula, Cost Rico
