Mark satin wanted some help with 3 planes (maiden- new AeroScout, re-trim the Tundra and first flight of the repaired SloPoke).  We conspired to meet at the Field Friday at 2 pm and invited our best friends... and Andy.  ;) Everyone showed up.  Dave, Rob D., Simon, Bruce, Mark, Andy, Michael.  Michael did his weather job and parted the rain clouds at 2 pm and the rain returned at 4 pm.  We all flew.  Worth the trip.

On my way to the field I was behind this truck at Woodbine and Stouffville Road.  What does the yellow sign on the back of the truck mean?

It means you have to get a camera with an automatic focus feature! ;D

Yes, it was definitely a sweet afternoon. 

It was nice to see and enjoy everyone's company from a safe distance.  The way I see it, it looks like everyone's complexion has improved significantly.

@Frank v B , while your photo's are great good, @Andy Hoffer , you are 'magic' with a camera and the end results are both beautiful and astonishing.   ;)

Andy are you going to share more photos and encourage more people to become conspiracy theorists?


Frank v B

Bruce,

re: your comment about Andy " you are magic' with a camera and the end results are both beautiful and astonishing.   ;)"

We finally found a redeeming quality.  He's not a total PITA* ;D ;D

@Frank v B k and @bweaver ,

Thanks guys.  You are very kind.  The fact is I have been blessed with a plethora of eclectic subject matter at TEMAC that never fails to entertain, no matter where I point the camera. 

You guys always make my photographic day!!  8)

Cheers!
