    Nick V..... I missed you!

    Well another airshow is gone and I only wish that my great friend Nick
    was there. I just wanted to say that I have never missed someone at
    an airshow because I could not care less with all the powerful aircraft
    buzzing around...but this year I am sure that everyone was getting tired
    of my talking all kinds of smack about Nick. The truth was, he was there
    in my eyes, Every time I went to test the setting on my camera, I
    depressed the shutter and wanted to show Nick so he could take the same
    picture with a real camera.... Lets Face It, Canons are fun but it really
    is a toy in the Hi-Tech Nikon world! I would look over to show.....crap,
    he was not there!!! At least I got to talk to Nick for a few short moments
    in the morning...but I want more.... I wish you were there.....You were
    Missed!!!!

    Here is a settings test shot I took. I was thinking of Nick???
    I am going to get crap from my wife for this Nick..... ALLOT OF CRAP!

    Fred you make me feel good. Especially since you met Loretta who is an interesting person. I loved the pic! Now that girl has a nice body! Tell your wife to be quiet or I will come over and deal with her myself. As for the air show I am glad you had a good time but its a tough weekend for me and as crazy as it sounds I prefer the airport over the beach or an airshow, one day while I was out west a Thunderbird from Nellis did a flyby the runway at IFP and I found that totally exciting, he went by so fast I didn't even get the camera up to shoot. Thanks again Fred, you better make some plans to come out and spot with me this winter in the desert. That will be fun.

    We will have just as much fun as the airshow with the Thunderbirds we
    will be at next year at Jones Beach!!! Right On!

    Sorry I missed the showing Saturday, I had to be up early to take some
    of these!

    Fred I am sorry but taking a picture of a guy with a metal detector is not more important than going to the house of Art Brett! I think you should make it your business to be there next time.

    Wow, even the broads we take pictures of are aviation related.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
