| | | | | | | - HANGAR HAPPENIN'S - The Yankee Air Museum Newsletter
- The photos from the MAY EDITION are here now.
The POLISHING PARTY is featured this month. Plenty of photos from Dave Stonoski's Nikon are here, including the cockpit photos of our new members. Also covered this month is an updated view of the model bomber factory's prototype module of the hangar floor. "Forty Gigs for Forty Hero's" is here, coverage of the Duane Zemper talk and our exhibits and Washtenaw Community College, and lots more.
Would you like to have your photos viewed by 500 people per day? That's the average number of visitors here at the gallery. We've just crossed the 1,250,000 view mark as well - that is, over a million views of all of the different photos. It's a good place to show off and get some recognition for your photography. Shoot me a line at D2kos@comcast.net and I'll give you several ways to submit your photos.
