Default Cropped out of a vacation shot!

Relaxed shot on vacation in HI. Can you tell I have a VAF hat on?

If your image isn't square, it looks like this might be the trick:

I like it. NOW you are cleared to the contact position.

Picking a shot for an avatar was in my case choosing the lesser of all evils.

Not this one, I am an uber-dork, next!
Ugh, what am I doing there, next!
Ack, what a geek, next!
I didn't realize I was cross-eyed, next!
Is that a lampshade on my head? Next!
Am I really that bald? Next!
Holy cow, does the camera add 40 lbs? Next!
That's funny, I don't remember that night in Vegas?!?! [DELETE] Next!
Hmmm, maybe I can fix this one with photoshop, I think we have a winner!

This plane just passed six years and 900 hours within a week's time. Something like 1300 flights. Still way cool.

Default Did it work?

I have been trying to shrink my avatar (sounds painful). The CP shows my photo but it tells me that the upload failed. Let's run this thing up the flagpole.

Default I guess it did

I finally found something as frustrating as the fuel tanks. Shrinking my photo was a pain in the empenage.
