I want to thank those who run, monitor, participate and share their knowledge and photos in this forum. This is my first time participating. I have listened in to a very few forums for flying models ( mostly R/C) but found them not very interesting ( I fly control line, sport and scale, and no longer compete) and they were taken over by some who have less knowledge than I have. This forum has participants who have real experience and the discussions (arguments) are backed up with real data on both sides. What all of you have done for me is to prompt me to finish cataloging my photo collection which has been dormant since 1980. I shot Kodachrome, so with the demise of that and film and walking around airports and being thought suspicious taking pictures, the slides just stayed in their boxes. Also, my longtime friend passed away (brother from another mother) and shortly before, he gave me much of his photo collection. He gave the best to his son of course, dammit. So, between listening in here and organizing 1980 thru 2000 you are keeping me busy. Once I get better set up I will try to share photos. I have a very few actual WW2 photos which I got in a trade for a book on Leoning amphibians, which thanks to amazon, I have replaced. They were negatives, processed in the field most likely in the high contrast developer used in recon lab. Considerable edge fog caused me fits in the darkroom. Enough of my nonsence. Thanks again for all of you and the banter which which makes me laugh out loud and spill my coffee.
