I would have to use pictures from past years, as I haven't taken any of
you this year.

Well, that was half in jest, but if this is something you would be willing to do - and you have enough pictures of me (even six months worth would be OK - pictures of pilot-friends for the balance), then I would be interested - I'd buy several and give them as personalized Christmas gifts. Meanwhile, I'll give you a vote on A,B, or C soon. - Hugh
