 Attack Flaminken!2224 viewsOldalbatross being attacked by what appears to be a cross between a flamingo and a chicken. Well, there is a flamingo in Victoria Butterfly Garden and there are farms nearby that I am sure have yard birds.

I kind of think IT, whatever IT is, liked my shoe laces. My guess is that IT doesn't eat butterfly's.

 Jose2079 viewsThis is Jose, one of our, shall we say extended crew members. Jose is taking a little R & R from cleaning bugs off the windshield of the Albatross, a job usually reserved for the Radioman and may I say, much easier while aircraft is parked.

The Osa Peninsula of Costa Rico is a perfect place for Jose to relax.
