Super Cub captured by D4s / 80-400VR2The office phone rang this morning, the iPhone dutifully telling Sharon it was Spam. The I.D. said the call was coming from Helena, our state capitol. Sharon answered it and on the other end was the MT DOT Aeronautics Board telling...

PA-17 Vagabond in the pattern captured by Z 9 / 180-400VRWe plan our arrival for about an hour before sunset. There are always planes in the pattern so once we're on the field, we park behind the hangar and the camera comes out. I couldn't get the Z 9 / 180-400VR out...
