Jan, I apologize for the post above. Please disregard it entirely. I wanted to Congratulate you on your Brilliant photography, and also learn how to insert pics with captions. So I used your thread late at night, when every one was asleep, so I wouldn't bother anyone, to practice on. It looks like I succeeded, and I planed to delete all my rubbish when I finished, but the Edit timed out ! They are just random pics that I used, and I'm very sorry to have messed things up for you in your nice thread.

 

Thank you for understanding, my young noble, and handsome friend.

Jim - It looks like things are starting to come together for you! keep working at it until you can do it without thinking about it all that much!

If you ever want to try my (our, several members on here use the same method) method, let me know and i can finish out the emails that I had started! okay, I am going to bed, it's 1:30am here now, and I have had enough fun for the day and part of this morning! :rolleyes:

 

Good night, Jim! Try post your own thread with your new found knowledge, and I will check it out in the morning!

The Channel is only 26 km. wide there...... So I don't think I'll need to ditch, and I calculated fuel twice! :o

 

No worries if you took your klompen with you...then you could float across. :) Sorry for the lame attempt at humor. :p

 

Good flight and great dawn screenies!

Nice shots Jan! And Jim as well!

 

Jan, I suppose it's best you didn't show your landing shots. It appears Jim knows the best aircraft for how and where you usually land!!:D
