"We Have Come a Long Way …"
Dave Curran of Stafford, Virginia
snapped this shot of two L-39s at the show.
"The caption is just a suggestion," writes Dave.
"Change it as you wish." Actually, Dave, we thought
you nailed it on this one, so we left the caption as-is.

"You Never Know Who’s in the Crowd!"
Al Hallonquist of Hobe Sound, Florida
caught an interesting moment on film
that didn’t involve in aircraft. Al explains:
"A picture of X-15 mothership and first-flight-of-the-B-1 pilot
Charlie Bock (blue shirt) and X-15 pilot and major record
holder Bob White at Sun ‘n Fun on April 14. While [I was] taking
the picture, someone stopped and asked if they were famous
and should he take a picture but walked away before I could answer.
Shoulda stuck around."

"Commander Fly-By"
Gary Evans of the Woodlands, Texas
took this photo during a "spot landing event"
at the Lawyer-Pilot’s Bar Association Meeting
in Tucson, Arizona. (Gary’s plane took first place.)
Hmmm – we know a few pilot jokes, and everyone
knows a dozen or so lawyer jokes – but are there any
good lawyer-pilot jokes out there? Gary? Anyone?

"Open Cockpit Profile"
Timothy O’Connor of Cincinnati, Ohio writes,
"This photo caught my gyroplane’s rotor … at the
instant it was passing overhead." Timothy pegs
the craft as an Air Command 447 gyroplane, but
the identity of the Man in Black remains a mystery.
