[danielph]

Awesome pics my friend!

[leelee]

These are a few taken last weekend. I am getting the hang of this flying thing, finally got a rudder touch with the 35% Yak now time to practice the torque roll. The DA100 is awesome and it helps when you can depend on your engine that low to the ground.

[mikaelmiki]

thanks, the forth one is my new wallpaper and every time is see it, it makes me laugh.

No problem Pit. Enjoyed the animation

[Garret H]

Here are some from the field! Please note: some of these are not my photos -- they belong to a good friend of mine who is not "internet savy" -- I am not sure if there are any prizes involved here, but if (by a slim chance) I win anything, I'll give it to him...:200:

[selleri]

New month... :)

[wizard]

I have started negotiations for this months guest judge.

[selleri]

I guess that's my cue. :198:

Well this has been a slow month compared to many before but still lot of nice pictures. After spending a long time going through them I've finally made my decision. Congratulations to the winners.

1st place goes to Adi or TazmanianDevil for his entry. I like the view and the plants at the bottom give an interesting perspective.

2nd place goes to FixedWing172 for capturing this rather unfortunate moment between those two planes.

There is always something about Anders winter pictures for me, maybe it's the familiarity.
