FNK is the first floatplane I flew. I have about 700 hours on it, she was orange back then, and not nearly as nice.

Hey no way! I've got about 700 in her myself! Awesome bird -- great performer and really quick in cruise. Got a real soft spot for that old girl. Ahhh, I'm getting all nostalgic now!

Hi Rubber Bug and Tiny Voices, please be aware that those pics are not mine, they were posted by bezerker back in 2007. I'm just curious as to the location of pic 4

It's C-GDUW over the south end of Atlin Lake; I think.

I'm sure about the airplane but not 100% on the location.

One from the Whistler Search and Rescue, and a Blackcomb Helicopters Twin Star. Snowing like a bugger, but managed a few keepers.

A) OK
B) Nope, not the only one.

Assuming you have signed in, go to your albums, and find a pic you like. Otter ones always go nicely in situations like this...

Looking at the code above, I can see why it didn't work. Just make sure you insert your photo link right between the "IMG" tags and not inside one of them, which will "break" them.
