Notes from Rod Stewart (RVO)
1.	These photographs are not copyrighted (we have no 
	copyright legislation), but anyone using them for
	unauthorized purposes will incur my everlasting wrath.

2.	Non-horizontal photographs are due to my inability to
	use a hand-held scanner, not the camera. Either that
	or the pilot's inability to fly level.
