[Leica] IMG: People at the Airport

[Al.crouch at earthlink.net (Al Crouch)]

Jim:
Good people images.   I flinched a little when seeing Don because he looks
like he has his hand on an engine manifold and I have been burned more than
once that way.  I'm assuming the engine was cold and it's probably an
intake line of some sort, so no harm done.  

Jim looks like one of those guys we've all known, who has a plenty to say. 
You probably spent some time in that rocker.  Good postings.  The Bombadier
is a beauty.

The first is of Don, a retired military veteran who served in the Navy,
Marines, and Air Force.  An experienced mechanic, he is shown with his 1946
Ercoupe, which he still flies and maintains.

airport action.  I snapped his image before I sat down to discuss grandkids
and medical problems, the general conversation of octogenarians.

attention at the time.  A beautiful business aircraft, it is equipped for
single-point refueling, so that all tanks can be serviced with a single
connection to the fuel truck.
