Charlie,
I cannot believe you don't have this shot. You have every pose possible including two of them doing the Rumba. You are holding out on us. :wavey:

Sweet Patrick. Great wing position. I like the shadow of the near wing on the underside of the far wing. I also like you leaving the take-off perch in the image.
