"Skytrucks at Gimli", by Ruud Leeuw

I have stated before that one of the "unplanned bonuses" of having a Blog is meeting and corresponding with other people with similar interests in aviation. Ruud Leeuw is such a friend, and many of you "enthusiasts" have probably "met" him through the "net". Anyways, he and I share a passion for "radial engines", and he is quite the photographer. He just happened to be in my "neck of the woods" recently, and although we didn't "cross paths", Ruud has now invited us all to share his visit to Manitoba and the "Interlake"! "Oh, did I mention? Ruud also likes 'trucks'!"

RUUD LEEUW'S...- Skytrucks at Gimli!

A "Skytruck".....

.....and "me"!

MORE FROM - Ruud Leeuw!!!
