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