Opening windows to smell that wonderful country air along the flight route


Wonder if the old girl and children will buy me floats for my bugsmasher...

[color=#0000ff]Wow Doug, that is one awesome little bugsmasher and blue is my favorite color too. Did you have your arm hanging out the window all relaxed like it was a sunday drive? Those fall colors really set the mood of your wonderful shots!

Happy flying and I hope your fam comes through with the floats

Yes I guess it is time I took some spring shots...

I always did like to fly with the windows open, light my pipe and puff and putter along...

Great shots Doug, really like #1 & #4.

I smoked a pipe for about a year in my younger days. Considering the line of work I was in, I found it was a bit cumbersome and could be downright dangerous at times.

Good morning Larry...

Thanks for the comments...

As for the pipe:
-had quite a collection of short and long stem pipes
-treated them with a honey solution
-blended my own tobacco
-broke several stems flying the DC3s...would put pipe in rear uniform pocket and forget it was there...till I sat down...smartened up eventually and packed several pipes...
-never ever smoked cigaretts but liked a real good cigar
-thank goodness none of our children or the old girl smoke

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Again thanks all...

Oh and just a little thing about smoking.

Here in Canada the tobacco products are locked behind doors which you can not see through.

If you want a tobacco product you have to ask to have the doors opened and then produce ID that you are old enought to smoke.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
