I just saw Dumigan's post on his review of this year, and that's a pretty neat idea. So I wanted to make my own review to share with you guys and gals to show just what made this year special.

These shots are in no particular order, but I hope you can relive a great year with me by looking at my Higlights Of '07...

Trey

Here's my helmet bag on the pitot tube of the '6. This was taken right after my first flight from the front of the T-6. I was 16 at the time, what a blast!...

I've exposed a lot of film in the last 42 years and would like you to know that you have a real talent with camera and lens. Keep up the fine work & don't ever lay that thing down!
Thank you for sharing your images here.
