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.
