If you come to East Tennessee, as you should, don't miss Cades Cove in the Smokeys.

A whole community, now a park,just the way life was in early Tennessee.

Slim243 viewsIf slim had been on the freeway instead of a bike way he would be known as a sail snake.

(sail snake: a snake that has been repeatedly run over until flat and dried. Then you can pick it up and sail it like boomerang.)

Not to worry, Slim is living large in Virginia and having a fresh tourist everyday.

Jose253 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.

Observer243 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.
