But don't be in a hurry. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Nichols Sent: Tuesday, December 15, 2015 5:02 PM To: LUG at Leica-Users.org ; Olympus Camera Discussion Subject: [Leica] IMG: Visitors at the Airport It was a beautiful afternoon, so I checked on the activity at the airport. I found two visitors, not usually found at our local field. The first was a Zodiac Light Sport Aircraft. Looks like one I would like to fly. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Zodiac+Light+Sport+Aircraft.tif.html The next is a Robinson R22, listed as a Beta model. Powered by a Lycoming O-360, the pilot said he had been cruising at 110 kts. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Robinson+R22+Beta.tif.html I caught his departure, with a larger LifeFlight unit on the ground. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Robinson+Departure.tif.html And I found an interesting counter decoration which I may have photographed in earlier years. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Deer+_amp_+Santa.TIFF.html All with the X-E1 and Fujinon 18-55 Comments and critiques welcomed. -- Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
