Subject: [Leica] IMG: Another Airport Visit

First, I got an image of our new terminal building that I like better than 
others I have posted.

Then, to prove that not all airport visitors are rich and prosperous, I 
include an image of a Weatherly 620 Sprayer that is here for its annual 
inspection.  Ragwing Aircraft, located on the airport, is experienced with 
radial engines, which are becoming more and more a thing of the past.

Note that this airplane, like the helicopter I pictured earlier, has a wire 
cutter on the windshield, and an anti-snag cable from the canopy to the 
vertical tail.  The owner is thinking about adding cutters to the landing 
gear as well.

Both with the E-1 and ZD 14-54 Type 1

Comments and critiques welcomed.
