I think some of the pictures I posted in the past got lost due to a crash or something, so I'm going to repost a few here.

It’s some kind of reel. Seems like it was setup to do sales training in a consumer projector but this kind of stuff is way out of my wheelhouse.  I could send it all to you if you want to check it out and I’ll help pay to transfer it to another medium if it’s worth watching?

Sure! Send it to me and I can have a look. I'll email you.

Awesome stuff DonV thanks for posting.
Yeah how do you even get that photo?  Air to air photography during icing conditions?  Great stuff.

Wow, that is a cool find! If one of those came up for the JetProps, I think I would buy it, or at least make an offer.

I find it interesting how leather has almost completely replaced cloth in aircraft interiors (and cars, for that matter). My airplane has cloth seats trimmed with leather, and it's very nice, but you rarely see that any more.

And let’s face it, those cloth seats are more comfortable than most of the re-do’s!
