Cool chilly shots on a day when my 'hood hit 105+ for the sixth day in a row.

Nice to think of snowiness! Cool

I love the smell of radials in the morning!

Nice! Not nearly as hot where I am but those screens remind me of what'll be coming my way all too soon.

Thanks for the comments people.

On a side note:it's a dream to land on snow and ice,it feels just right,not too slippery and not too 'normal'.

Nice set JP... Wink

Just curious...I see shadows from the people and the buildings but not from the aircraft which almost looks like it is suspended above the ground... Grin

As for landing DC3s on snow and ice...there are several techniques we used.
In the North where there were few runways we landed on the frozen lakes, they would line the snowmobiles along the area they wanted us to land on.
The lights from the snowmobiles would also reflect off the ice and snow and on a clear night landing on the ice the stars would also reflect in the ice giving us several problems we really didn't need or want.

Landing on a proper ice/snow packed runway with good lighting/flare pots made all the difference in the world when operating off wheel/skis... Grin

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

I like the first one, JP Cool

"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"
