Judy, very politely says, "Mike ... don't you think you should go shower now?" But, oh how yummmmy these shots are.
This morning we performed a very thorough pre-flight inspection of the engine compartment.
We had a very uneventful flight to Lee Stocking Island to pick up The Adventures of Mary and The Data Queen.




Taxi up to the pad.
A new boat load of curious on-lookers with cameras in hand.
A very beautiful morning for a data collect. A few clouds began to form, but as it turns out, it didn't matter.




After one data capture session and one dark frame, the computer decided not to cooperate so the mission was scrubbed. Jim and Mary lay out the 110 power and try to fix the problem.
Like a flash, Lowell arrives with the Emergency 911 computer response and bicycle transport vehicle.
Megan and Mary get special in-flight meals today.




As it turns out, Lowell likes in-flight meals too. He says, "I wish my daughter could see me now." She can!
Is this classified as a data move or a data transfer?
Megan tries out a little of Annie's Aeroshell 120 oil that we use to externally lubricate the airframe.




Lowell says, "Look, I'm an airplane too!"
An early return to Runway 12 at Exuma International.
Don't feel too bad Megan, Jim regularly gets lubricated by Annie.




After a full day of collecting sand dollars at Coco Plum Beach ... Kim, Judy and Jim count up the bounty.
