Well you wouldn't expect me to actually do some manual work now eh, eh?
I've gone through several footmen over the years. None have ever stuck with it though. My original man came back recently claiming to be a Footman IRE/TRE and demanding 10 guineas a month damn me.
I had my game keeper see him off with buck shot.
Now I must get back to m'Lord Sugar's latest treatise.

but how did even you land that seaplane so it's balanced on an iceberg?
But I have to admit, you could not get a C-150 over that iceberg, and ever get it back ...

I haven't flown a piton single or twin for four years so all my flying has been in jets citation 500 550 560 boring stuff
I just renewed my SEP and had forgotten how pleasurable and fun it was to fly a PA28

A very dear friend built an RV6 years back completely from plan so it took him years to complete and totally agree as he let me fly it with him. It was a delight and you almost made turns by thought rather than conscious control inputs a delight

Bit of an eclectic mix my end....at the moment regularly flying all of these...
And shortly will also be back flying this...
Don't ask me which my favourite is though, lets just say I enjoy all of them very much and each has its own strengths.....

Unusual Attitude - nice to see SUPA is still going strong (I owned 1/3 of it for a few years).
Of course most of you don't get a view like this often:
I can confirm that the old saying "fan on the front is to keep the pilot cool - just watch him start sweating when it stops" has some truth in it - certainly the first couple of times I saw a stationary prop (doesn't bother me now).

- Yes - it's stopped
- No - it's not feathered (looks better in the photo this way)

A similar pic from a vintage German-made motor-glider I flew earlier. This had the possibility to feather.
Too large, resize to 1024x800 MAX.
Resized:
Nowadays I upgraded to a modern luxury airplane, at least from my budget's point of view...
I mean the plane in the foreground. Can you guess the type of the plane in the background?

Oh, what an opportunistic attitude is this? 
Increasing DRAG for a nicer photo? 
You win, Sir! It's indeed an L-410, more precisely L-410UPV-T. It's actually starting her takeoff roll will lots of skydivers inside (including my son, hmmm). That was an exciting Sunday, to say the least.

N159AR
@piperboy84, your N159AR registration begs the question of whether you're an Alfa Romeo car enthusiast 
Once upon a time the boss of Alfa Romeo in the USA had the N-number N1AR on his little two-seater... I have no idea how he was able to make himself pronounce it 'correctly' on the radio.
Alfa has built a couple of different 159s, this being the most notable.
