Velocity Calendar 2013

Well, I’ve been kind of busying trying to get my Private Pilot Certificate, and with work, and just life in general, so I wasn’t pushing the calendar very hard. So, submissions were pretty light. It seems most folks just don’t have many high resolution pictures of their airplanes, especially in flight. That’s a real shame, […]

Family Stickers
