                        Brings back great memories!  Back in the early 70's, I hitched a ride on a customer's plane like that from their plant in NC to another in Arkansas.  The pilot called it "Leapin' Lena."

                        Nice day for shooting photos here in Minnesota.  Got some better pics of the D-18 I finished a couple of weeks ago.  This is the Encore Beech D-18 (1:72 scale).  The kit supplied only decals for a military plane and one GB civil plane. I wanted a US civil plane, so did my own decals (and wrote an article for FSM on the process- don't know if they will buy it or not).  These pics are shot in direct sunlight against one of my regular airport photo backdrops.
