Default View From My Son's Office

Beats the Corner office on Wall St. Coming out of Kodiak Yesterday. Taken from another C130.

I wish someone would explain to me why photos in my file appear normal but post yeeyaw.
Thanks Brian, It worked. Apologies to Rick, as it now makes your post sound odd, but we know whatcha meant.

Fantastic picture Edgar.

On the picture trouble I had the same problem, I would open it on my PC and everything looked great and I would upload and it would be turned. I fixed this by opening the picture on my PC and doing an edit in the way of cropping the photo and saving it. A rotation and save will not do and seems to not fix the problem as I remember. Every picture I upload I crop even if just a subtle change.

I "think" your photo problem might be with the resolution and resulting file size. The width of the photo exceeds the number of pixels allowed and so it gets turned so that the widest dimension is along the longest dimension allowed. Try resizing your photo in something like Paint or other image handling software and see if that solves your problem. It did for me.

I'm going to try this Once, and if it doesn't work, well, I don't actually think I'll loose any sleep


Holy crap. Thanks guys. Out of curiosity, how do you know this stuff? NM, I don't wanna know.

Rick, If you want to see what the ancient 130 can do, google some videos of the AC-130 (For guys in my age bracket, you'll know her as "Puff The Magic Dragon")

Super secret top secret. You can always go into edit on your original post lower right icon, then go to advanced lower right, scroll down, open up downloads and remove the original picture and then reload.

The truth is one snowy night on the couch with my good friend Glenlivet and I figured it out!

If only I could remember half the solutions to the worlds problems that Dalwhinnie and I have come up with.

A very cool picture - it even captured the vortexes coming off the tips of each prop blade!

You have very good reasons to be proud of both your 'kids.'

I love C-130's. They're especially fun to watch operating on skis. The videos of the AC-130's are indeed impressive. I got the controls handed to me in the right seat of this one for 30minutes on the way to South Pole Station in 1985. I almost broke my face grinning on that flite. The Navy PIC was an instructor so I had him put an entry in my log book. It flew just like a Beaver, believe it or not.
