A fantastic day spent at Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge
The landing gear extended as the flier approached the runway. With seeming effortlessness, he made minor adjustments to the wings, flaps tilted, rudder shifted and he came steadily on. A cross-breeze embraced him and an obstacle appeared but another reflex allowed him to sail over with just a hair...
