On today's airport visit, I was determined to get some "people" images.  The 
first is of Don, a retired military veteran who served in the Navy, Marines, 
and Air Force.  An experienced mechanic, he is shown with his 1946 Ercoupe, 
which he still flies and maintains.

I found Jim, a retired engineer, sitting in a rocking chair watching the 
airport action.  I snapped his image before I sat down to discuss grandkids 
and medical problems, the general conversation of octogenarians.

This Bombardier Challenger, which stopped for fuel, was the center of 
attention at the time.  A beautiful business aircraft, it is equipped for 
single-point refueling, so that all tanks can be serviced with a single 
connection to the fuel truck.

All shot with the Olympus E-1 and Leica Elmarit-R 28mm.

Comments and critiques welcomed.
