My first flight was t' Metalizer, in its usual check-the-wind role. T' wind be out o' t' northwest, me hearties, nay so great since we were facin' north. Begad! (We didn’t have a lot o' choice today.) T' other function o' t' Metalizer was t' inaugurate me new camera, matey, which has faster (much faster) continuous shootin' than me old one, so I can get good launch shots — in principle — instead o' havin' t' do screen grabs off video. I’m still learnin' how t' use it though.
