How to post a picture.

[GAHorn]

If you are a TIC170A member you may post pics. (This is a small form of coercion. heh-heh)

ONE: If your picture is stored on YOUR computer: After you post your msg but before you click on <submit>, look at the bottom of the screen and select <upload attachment>, then click on <browse> and locate your pic on your computer. Then click on <add the file>. After it is uploaded, then place your cursor where you wish the pic to appear within your msg, and click on <place in line> , then click on <submit> to finish posting your msg w/pic.

TWO: If your picture is stored on the internet: Right-click on the pic where it is located on the internet, and select "properties", and then hightlight and copy the address where the pic is located into your clipboard. Now go to your forums-msg. Place your cursor where you wish the pic to be placed in your msg, go to the top of the msg-screen and click on the <Img> key, then right-click between the two <Img></Img> symbols, and "paste" the address of your pic between the Img symbols. Then click on <submit>

Hey gahorn,hate to be such a DA but I always get to the same place & can't find anything that says "place in line" any help?

[GAHorn]

AFTER you upload your pic... place your cursor where you want the pic to appear in your msg, and "set" the cursor by clicking. Then look at the attachment list (the list of pics you've uploaded at the bottom of your screen.) You will see "place inline". Click on it.

Everyone: LOOK at the bottom of your screens when you post pics and you'll see all the options being discussed.

Thank you George....with your tutelage I was able to post the Ugly crank post.....Dad aways told me that you need to be smarter than the machine.....I'm not!!!! worst of all, After church last Sunday....I went to the store to get the Chigago Trib. (I don't like their general aircraft perspectives....but It's still the best paper out of Chicago)..when I got to the place where the paper was......there was no paper....I found a bundle of tribs on the floor,in a plastic strand wrapper...I started to find a person in the store with a knife to cut the plastic strap....when a young woman said ..well just stick your finger nail under the front .....like this and the strap opens....which it did....I just said... "well I guess you need to be smarter than the plastic strap!!! apparently I have a lot to learn......again, George, Thank you

That Lockheed 12 reminds me of the two that sat at Brenham Tx for years. I was offered whichever one I wanted for $1,000. I looked and, although they both looked fairly complete, decided they were way too much airplane for my FIRST airplane, and bought an Aeronca Chief instead.

Years later they were both gone. Some guy had bought them both and sold the one which had been discovered to be Jimmy Hoffa's for $20K and used the money to get the other one flying. I wonder what happened to Hoffa's?

[Zreyn]

Well I don't know about the things that you mentioned,but I do know that Joe discovered the airplane in Brenham Texas & traded a Cessna 195 for it some twenty years ago & went out there with a crew of friends & spent two weeks getting it up to speed enough for a ferry flight back to Willow Pond airport near Fayetteville GA where it spent the next 18 years in a very extensive restoration.Absolute origanlity wasn't an issue but as much as was practical.It turned out to be a beautiful ship & will be able to be viewed in a new movie staring Hillory Swank & I think Richard Geer About Amielia Erhart.I know ,I know she didn't fly a 12 but the general public don't know that & I guess there just isn't an Electra available so they used what was available , An Electra jr.

George this is P.S.
The airplane in the pic that I posted is indeed the "Hoffa" airplane (N2072) although his name does not appear in the history of the plane,it said to have been his unofficially.The other one went to the Paris brothers of Oakland CA.Both airplanes were award winners at OSH Kosh last year.

[Zreyn]

Sorry another P.S.
The Paris brothers airplane is N2633

[GAHorn]

Waaalllll I"ll Beeeeed! I could have had that airplane back in 1978 for $1,000 in parking fees!

The rest of that story about $20K, etc., was related to me anecdotally. I never confirmed it, but it made a good story. Perhaps the guy may $20K on the 195. Who knows what the truth really is. (Did they find Jimmy in the left engine oil tank?)

Thank God I still have my Dad.....It's a wealth of Knowledge....just having someone there to tell you when you are making a mistake!!!!!! Even when you think he is wrong!!!!!

[cessna170bdriver]

We just lost Dad on Sept. 24 this year. I still have an occasional urge to give him a call to talk things over...

[GAHorn]

Oh dear, Miles! So sorry to hear it.

I still get misty over my Dad. (9-11, 2007)

Mine has been gone for some years now but it's a rare day that he doesn't come to mind in some way.Strange how silly his words were when I was 17 & the smartest thing in the universe & how much smarter he got as the years went by & how much I didn't know (still don't).
