Added some fabric, cables, and an aluminum prop and POOF, an airplane was born! All control surfaces function. The rudder pedals are even linked to the rudder and tailwheel.

We were there having the props balanced on our 310, and I brought the camera because there is no such thing as having too many pictures of my son with airplanes.

Dr. Daniel Spitzer of Piermont, NY copyright © Daniel Spitzer, M.D. Peak leaf coloration had just passed, several weeks ago, as I circled over Harriman State Park, about 30 miles north of New York City. From 1,700 feet MSL, gazing down into the nearly still water, shortly after dawn, the bright blue sky and white clouds stood out in contrast to the dappled coloration of the trees below. I circled there for the better part of an hour, working on the perfect composition with the ideal reflection. And then pure serendipity a contrail appeared, and a jet high overhead headed west.
