Those professional pilots certainly deserve the recognition. No different to giving recognition to the importance and efforts of a good PH. - but you could also get the PH to shoot all your game and all you have to do then is pose in the photos with rifle and carcasses like you did it... -pretend pilots or pretend hunters, same same. Without those skilled pilots, the Johnsons weren't going to be adventure flying anywhere on their own. looks like Osa sitting in the rear... -Bulletproof and Waterproof don't mean Idiotproof.

I hope you take your civic duty seriously late this coming fall. Make sure EVERY child you encounter you tell them how there is no Santa Claus. Hang out near the Santa workshops at the mall (if your court order allows) and tell EVERY kid that there is no Santa. Report back from the hospital. "Dear Lord, save me from Your followers"

Such is life on the Internet. Oh well... However, I also noticed that the Safari Museum now has a very large collection of photos available for viewing online. Here's the link: http://safarimuseum.com/gallery/ It takes the page a little time to load so be patient. It's hard to believe that I started this thread 10 years ago! Where has the time gone?...

I would have a framed photo of Osa cleaning her rifle with the rifle. it didn't have a number but was from the first series of "I married Adventure" and the rifle was a Springfield but a striking photo non the less with a great quote by her husband. So how did it shoot?
