I'm afraid they can be addicting, Rick. And you don't have to have the latest model, either. :-)

You're inciting a Fuji lust!

It was a beautiful day, so I decided to see what the late day activity
might be at the airport.  While attending a ball game, I had seen a Cessna
towing a sailplane overhead.  It seems the Civil Air Patrol had some
checkout activity going on.  I walked onto the ramp as the sailplane was
returning to the hangar.

This sailplane has a snug, two-place cockpit beneath the hinged canopy.

I walked out to take a look at a visiting CAP Maule aircraft from
Alabama.  I had never seen a Maule in CAP colors.

The CAP recently purchased a group of new Cessna 172s, and there was one
of these on the ramp.  The new landing/taxi light caught my eye.

This airplane smelled new all over.  Even the alternator behind the
cooling air inlet was shiny, with no bug spatter.

All with the Fuji X-E1 and 27mm Pancake lens.

Comments and critiques welcomed.
