You're welcome Greg, glad you like it. Smiley

Awesome shots, your choice of scenery and angles really made my paint look good. Smiley

I 'assume' from the title that you have Tatoo on board. Just don't use him to troll for gators. Or as we say down south, teaching 'em how to water ski. Roll Eyes  Cheesy  Grin

Your welcome Greg. And thanks for the kudos. Smiley

All joking aside, I saw a video somewhere the other day where some 'idiot' used a helo to tow him so he could set a speed record for barefoot skiing.

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

No, but I would like to. My hat is off to him. I will never see 90, let alone be able to ski. I have not been on skis in about 40 years. At my current weight, I think I would need two surfboards instead. Roll Eyes

I don't think it would be as difficult as you think to start that conversation. All helo pilots are crazy, and I have been friends with a couple of them. I even flew with one  of them and would do so again, given the opportunity.
