Title: Georgia Man Takes Aerial Photos With Radio Controlled Airplanes
Post by: Henry on October 20, 2009, 03:53:56 PM

Phil Ploof is a retired IBMer who lives in Georgia 6 months of the year and the other six months in Florida.  He has a unique hobby in that he flies radio controlled planes and takes some great aerial photos with them and below is the proof.  Many thanks Phil:
