Hey, Mike!
I just came across your picture and thought at first that it was me June 1st 2014.
I was going to Ft Parker near Mexia Texas and I kept seeing movement out
of the corner of my eye. When I looked down, it would disappear. I kept
thinking that someone was sneaking up on me, then I realized that, "Hey,
that's me!!!" I took a couple of shots with my phone and forgot about it
until later in the day, when everyone was sharing pictures of their planes.
I pulled the pictures up of those I had taken on the way up and to my amazement,
they all had a halo around my shadow on the clouds.
I've kept the best of the few and had it enlarged and I keep it next to my computer.
If I knew how to send pictures, I would share it with you.
To top it off, when my granddaughter saw the picture she said, "Pops, I guess God
loves little airplanes!" Smart girl!!!
