If you are going to toss your pictures into the game I'm going to go dig up my Blue Angels/Thunderbirds pictures :-) Hmmm, this is probably where a wingman from Seattles Black Jack Squadron (RV formation team) is going to post a picture of leads altimeter setting. -- Frank Stutzman Bonanza N494B "Hula Girl" Hood River, OR |

(The main advantage of this megapixel camera is that it is really SMALL --
and therefore really fits in your pocket, and therefore is always handy. As a result, I actually *use* it -- a lot -- as opposed to my old Nikon 35 mm SLR.) My kids gave me a Sony Cybershsot DSC-U10 for Christmas two years ago. It's only 3.25 x 1.5 x 1". Only 1.3 mps and no zoom, but like you, I hardly ever use my 35 mm. any longer. Here's a pic of flying with Jack Allison to OSH this year: Nice shot. Looks like Iowa or Wisconsin down there. Without formation training, I wouldn't want to get too much closer to anyone in flight. Extremely sensible! Without training, it's just asking for trouble. And you're not even wearing chutes! vince norris |

When I was flying for them one was a former F-14 pilot, another was a FAST instructor, I was a Cessna 206 jump pilot that stepped up to 4-engine bombers, and a bunch of active/retired airline pilots. What experience they/we had mostly came from just doing it. G -- Dale L.
