Thanks for sharing the photos, Dennis... she's very pretty.

As for resizing photos... I know I've mentioned it before but I'll do so again... IrfanView.  I've got the perfect method that is totally painless, takes about 10 seconds, and you resize ALL the photos you upload to your computer from your camera at the same time you're doing the upload.  Imagine you've shot all sorts of airplane photos with your digital camera and have decided that it's time to put them in your computer.  Plug the memory card into the reader and save all the photos on it to a new sub-directory in your Airplane Pictures directory.... name the new directory today's date.  Once the photos are in that directory open IrfanView and select the batch processing item in the file menu... set it up to reduce the photo size to 640x480 or 800x600, select ALL the files in your new directory and set the output directory to "small", a new subdirectory of your dated sub-directory.  Hit the start button in the batch processor.  Quicker than a blink you now have a complete set of reduced size photos that average 40-50k each right next door to your 1600x1200 originals that are 200-300k each.  Use the hi-res originals to make posters you can cover your hangar walls with, use the small photos for sharing on the internet.  I know it sounds complicated, but in reality it probably takes less time than it took to read this message.  I've been doing this for a long time and it has really simplified things.  FWIW.
