-JC- -> John Christensens JWM Hungary diary (7/28/2005 10:13:51 PM)

Since the other Hungary post will be a mixture of after hour reports, along with maybe a little flying info, I wanted to start a separate post with actual JWM info and photos. The photos are all in 1024 x 768 resolution, instead of the lower thumbnail resolution available here.

So, here it is. The SERIOUS JWM report [;)]

The entire US team has arrived, and we used the whole day today to get the planes unpacked and checked. This was also the first time we had the whole team assembled in uniform, so here are the first photos.

USA TEAM at the WORLD JET MASTERS

Allright.. Third from left is:

dribbe -> RE: Christensens JWM Hungary Hi-Rez diary (7/28/2005 10:55:06 PM)

Great Pics John. (He is doing a great job as the official photographer!)

4 of us have practice flown successfully on site now, and things are going well.
Now, if we could just get a cold front to move in... we are roasting!

Best Regards,
David Ribbe

Many thanks for a superb (as usual) set of photographs. A fine and diverse line up of models all of which look like winners.

BTW the weather looks like it should suit you guys. Best of luck to you all and look forward to more great shots.

Best regards

John

john agnew -> RE: Christensens JWM Hungary Hi-Rez diary (7/29/2005 8:27:16 AM)

John

While I understand that your primary focus will be the US team I would appreciate it very much if could take and post a couple of shots of the sole Scottish entry.

Lindsay Dickie will be flying a white / red / green Fiat G91 which is very distinctive and should make a good subject.

Lindsay's supporters back home would, I am sure love to see some quality shots.

BTW I am looking forward with keen anticipation to seeing some flying shots. Your photographs have superb definition, colour saturation and compositon and I am convinced they will set the standard by which all other WJM photographs will be judged.

(They say flattery will get you anywhere[:D])

John
