Planes and things
Here are some aviation related pictures for you to look at. If you don't like
planes then you can either go back into the picture gallery, or go right back to Woody's home page.
Enjoy
Note: I also have some photos on airliners.net which are of much better quality and size.
The scanning quality of the shots below is not the best as they were
scanned back in the days of low resolution monitors and slow network connections
and were saved as small files for that reason.
