"Katrina Aftermath at Lakefront Airport"
Erin Seidemann of Daly City, California writes,
"I was born in New Orleans and took my first flying
lesson at KNEW [Lakefront Airport]. The devastation
was unbelievable. I just don't want people to forget."
Erin's image is a powerful reminder that there's
much work and recovery still to be done ... .

"Mission Accomplished!"
Joshua Cawthra of Mobile, Alabama
had his camera handy at just the right time.
"After a lovely local flight," he writes, "I saw a
few Blackhawks on the other side of the airport
doing external load operations." Great image,
Joshua - we're glad you had the camera!

"Nail-Biter"
Angela Nesbitt of Antioch, Tennessee
put us on the edge of our seat with this
photo of Otto (The Airshow Helicopter)
and barnstormer John Mohr doing their
thing as the Untied Team. Those guys
still make us nervous. (Ain't it great?)

"Here Is SX-BIN!"
Yikes! Speaking of things that make us nervous,
Natalia Anemodoura of Kalithea, Athens (Greece)
sends this photo of "an Olympic Aviation ATR-42 during
an extremely low approach on RWY 17 at CFU (LGKR)."
The picture, she tells us, was taken on Corfu during August of 2004.
And no offense to Natalia, but we have to ask: Is that for real?
