Great pictures Roger!

Thats got to be the most beautiful 180 I have ever seen. I want one too...

Thanks, it was fun. I too agree, Bud's 180 is the nicest 180 I've ever seen. My pictures don't do it justice............

Ever noticed how polished airplanes photograph so differently?

That one of Bud's 180... the polish looks good.

Some angles the polish doesnt shine like other angles. There seems to be a 50/50 chance that the pics I take of a polished airplane will turn out making the airlpane look aweful. I guess all those reflections play tricks on the cameras. Oh, and lighting plays a huge factor too...

Just my thoughts on how some of my pics turn out... this is one of my better ones...

I'll buy you a 180 if you buy me that Spartan.

Dan,

When I get home tonight from school, I'll post a picture of one of the polished areas that caught my eye.
