Thank you both very much

Anytime Jim, I'm glad to you appreciate the photos and thanks very much for the kind words.

The next few weeks are going to be filled with airplanes for me as next weekend I'll be in Bagotville, PQ, the week after in St. Thomas, and then Orillia and finally Trenton for all the air shows that are going on here in southern Ontario.  While in PQ I'll be stopping at a couple of parks to see if I can find some wildlife to photography should the opportunity arise.

I'll be sure to share some pics with everyone here.  :)

Thanks again, Attila

Hi Attila,

Love your photos ... I'm a HUGE Corsair fan, myself!!   And, that's a very nice photo you took earlier.

Keep 'em comin'!

Thanks Rory, appreciate the comments!  I'm a huge Corsair fan too, unfortunately I don't get a chance to see them too often.  May have to plan a trip up to Vintage Wings for one of their Open House days to get some more flying pictures of this one.

Here's a couple more for you, and in case anyone is wondering, yes, grass at that speed does actually hurt... :lol:

Attila: Too bad you were not in St. Thomas yesterday. The founder of the Red Bull Pylon Racing Events was flying by; had engine trouble;
landed in cornfield short of St Thomas airport and flipped his bird. Sorry no Pics.

Excerpt from St. Thomas Paper...

An internationally renowned stunt pilot was briefly hospitalized Tuesday in St. Thomas after his small plane crashed near the city.

Peter Besenyei, founder of a Red Bull-sponsored air racing competition coming to Windsor this weekend, was bruised after he attempted an emergency landing with engine trouble yesterday afternoon at St. Thomas Municipal Airport but was forced down on approach.

He landed successfully in a farm field south of the airport, Elgin OPP say. But as his plane rolled to a stop, its wheels dug into the ground and the craft flipped.

Hey there Jim,

Yep, I heard about it - glad to hear he's ok.  Should be a great weekend with the Air Race going on out at Windsor!

I'm just finished packing for my trip over to Bagotville QC - departing tomorrow, returning on Wednesday of next week.  Then it's a day to do laundry and upload all my photos (both wildlife and metal birds), which is followed by Friday - Sunday at the St. Thomas show!

Any chance you'll be there?

I'm really looking forward to the next couple of weeks...it's all going to be a blast!
