For the first time in a long time I went out to the airport to photograph airplanes. Boy, I am rusty. Additionally, there wasn't much action our there. I did get a bunch of this Citabria. He was doing a great job of greasing three point landings. Wheel landings - another story. It was very exciting watching the wheel landings. How many PIOs can you get in on a single attempt? You tail dragger guys out there know the challenge. If you touch down too fast, the tail drops (one of those center of gravity things) and you balloon up. That's why your instructor keeps telling you to "roll it on." Great challenge. Most of the time very humbling for me.

A belated welcome back to the States. Glad you had a good time in Scotland.
