What I've been doing all the season when I wasnt on the dock. Rollin' drums in a Twin Otter.
By the way can someone help me change the dimensions of my pictures? I want them to fit a little smaller in the screen

Nice pic HotShots,

Do you ever wish that some times you never saw a actual picture if a person after you had a visual image of the in your mind?

After all the posts one has a manly mental image of the person then to see a effeminate actual picture of the poster it sort of deflates your mental picture.

anyone??

If this is understood many feel it will, I don't know about you but maybe?

A picture in my mind is manly in image, but the effeminate in person, is a definite letdown.

Anyone?

Well I am a younger guy with a fancy camera, but as for the flying, It'll be another year until I get off the ramp and into the twin otter! :x


Buffalo's guys have been doing a lot of training lately, here's one of their DC-4 coming in.

I believe you are refering to every twin otter co-pilot on the planet. Camera-wise anyway.

I knew I recognized these 2 planes as soon as I saw the pictures. You guys fly over my place at 8am every day. Thanks for the wake up buzz. LOL

Do you fly out of Sudbury Aviation? I was thinking of going and getting my license through them seeing I live just down the street ( literally)
