Cargo...

 This plane looks like it barely was able to get off the ground in these pictures.  It didn't seem like that at the time...

Looking More Full

I don't know why, but this piece is beginning to look more complete to me.  I don't know if it's the start of the fourth leaf or getting more of the border done.  It just looks more "real".

Duelling Helicopters

A two helicopter demonstration of capabilities and formation flying, along with a mock helicopter dogfight.  Really neat to watch.  Too bad the day wasn't less cloudy.







Doesn't Look Like Much

Evidently, my husband decided not to unwrap the threads so you can see the pattern on this ball in progress.  It's a six pointed renzoku pattern.  Still a work in progress.  This was started as part of my temari teaching.

French Love Vertical Stalls

 I -think- this is the plane flown by the paraplegic French air administrator.  He got the laws changed to allow paraplegics to fly after having been in a skiing accident and losing use of hos legs.  Anyway, more vertical stalls and not even a barrel roll.

More Purple, More Cream

Added more purple to the peacock and more creamy background on the left.  It's beginning to actually look like something.

WWII Era Transport

This plane was used in World War II for airborne, troop transport, and cargo.  Looks kind of dumpy and small by today's standards.
