I seem to like these far-away final approach shots... :D

Nice leg again - keep it up ! :D

Lovely stuff. You seem to have a bit less smoke on engine startup than normal, are you actually using engine oil now rather than KFC slops? :-lol

I like those far away landing shots too.

Thanks for the comment :)

Still very smokey, it just depends on when the picture is taken... :)
