Also using the fundamentals of physics

This update is to introduce and display scenery that I photographed during my travel as a bush pilot or as a passenger on air or surface transport changing employers or when on vacation. Thereafter, when I had stopped flying; but still employed in aviation on the ground until retirement.
My camera is and was a Nikon FM 35mm using film as apposed to digital. Most of the photos were taken using Kodachrome ASA 25, a few were on ASA 64. Kodak stopped making the film in 1986, so I switched to Fujifilm ASA 50 or 100. The photographs follow in the same chronological order as those in Galleries 1-8.
The time frame begins April 1962 prior to employment on the DEW Line's re-supply ships, the income thereof gave me the opportunity to learn how to fly. Scenery herein continues through 21 September 1992.
I own and continue to live aboard a 34foot pilot house motor sailer since 6th January 1987 on South Vancouver Island, B.C. Interestingly the physics of flying and sailing are the same. The former is usually an horizontal aerofoil while the latter is a vertical aerofoil.
Like airplane wings, sails exploit Bernoulli's principle. An airplane wing is designed to cause the air moving over its top to move faster than the air moving along its undersurface. ... The pressure difference generates the lift provided by the wing.
