Parrots don't caw.

but awesome pictures! It's nice to see that great big old nose art instead of the ubiquitous shark's mouth

I have tried various resources but have come up empty except for the known facts "NAPIER ARMY AIR BASE -- DOTHAN, ALABAMA" I wonder if it is associated with the Mexican Air Force pilots that trained there on or about 1943 in P-40 N's.....

what is an HDR photo??

it means High Dynamic Range. It lets you stretch the light lighter and the dark darker in the same image, so you get deep looking, very fantabulous (for Eric I used that one) looking images. Those posters you see of cities are usually HDR, so the city lights stand out nice and sharp and the skyline is dark against a vivid sky.

Are you much of a photographer?

If the Sgt. Maj. of the Army has to salute you, you are indeed an officer. Guess who told me that one? I never could decide if you guys were class traitors or just plain smart

I am not a photographer. The last time I picked up a camera was Kosovo, '98. I'll never look through a viewfinder again. But I was pretty good back in the day.

Well, I'm sure the Seargent Major of the Army would have saluted me, but I guarantee I knew enough as a W2, that if he didn't, just let it go.

You don't make SMA without having decent forearms
