Well, if someone is lucky enough to be in the LZ on one of my 2 or 3 flights a year, just turn the camera on. I don't think I have had a true flare landing in my 15 years! Always run out.

Prayers are with Walt

I did not know Walt well, but he was a consistently cheerful, kind, and upbeat guy, always decent to everyone. I really enjoyed flying with him! So glad he gets to go home. My prayers are with you Walt!

The end is NOT near

Wow, what a relief even to us 47-year-old pilots that don't fly anywhere near as much as Rome. If he quits, he takes a ton of my inspiration with him! So DON'T QUIT ROME!!!

Larry,
THANKS for updating all of us. I just got the news. I left a message and a card goes out tomorrow. Glad he is improved and hoping he continues. He's a fighter, and if anybody can pull off this "stunt" Freddy can!
Peace,

P.S. I forgot to say....If you place your cursor on the bottom right corner of the picture, a little icon shows up with a square and four arrows pointing out. Click on it and the picture will enlarge dramatically, allowing you to see the falls, etc., close up.

This is the largest water fall in the world....twice as long and twice as high as Niagara. After circling the falls s...
