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