My new flying rule - bring camera
yep - I've been kind of dumb these past few fall flights. Today
was yet another absolutely perfect flying day (today's flight is the reason I own an airplane). I'm still kicking myself for not having my camera. There were some really beautiful high clouds that I just can't describe. And the full moon rising over the Atlantic was a sight! -- Bob Noel Looking for a sig the lawyers will hate |

My new flying rule - bring camera
We have a camera bag that holds both our handheld GPS and our camera.
We're never without both. -- Gene Seibel http://pad39a.com/gene/planes.html Because we fly, we envy no one. Bob Noel wrote: yep - I've been kind of dumb these past few fall flights.

I'm still kicking myself for not having my camera. Yup...that's a good rule. I follow it is often as I can. Bringing a camera, that is. I was in fact surprised that the recent article in AOPA Pilot about taking friends on sightseeing flights assumed that the friends will bring cameras, rather than pointing out that passengers often forget a camera. I've found digital cameras in particular to be a wonderful solution to this problem. It was always possible, of course, for a pilot to bring their own camera to allow the passengers to use if they didn't have one of their own. But a digital camera not only doesn't involve any additional cost in film or processing, but the photos can be easily given to the passenger the same day as the flight, if not immediately after.

Yesterday, I landed at a local field where the Civil Air Patrol was flying gliders. I made several good still shots, PLUS my new camera can make VGA quality videos, so I've got a couple of neat videos of gliders launching and landing. KB |

My new flying rule - bring camera
The day I got my checkout in the Beech King Air 200, the
NASA 747 was in Wichita, with the shuttle piggy-back, on the way to Paris for the airshow. We did our airwork over McConnell AFB above 10,000 feet and joined up with the 747 and flew a few miles away for a period of time. After a minute or two, we turned to each other and said, "Damn, left my camera at home." "Bob Noel" wrote in message ... | yep - I've been kind of dumb these past few fall flights.

By handing them the memory cards? With film, you can just hand them the roll of film for them to develop and print. Also, with film, there's no question of you keeping a copy for yourself, which may be good or bad, depending on what your passengers prefer. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

: I didn't have my camera the day I saw the 747 converted to water tanker do a test drop...a waterfall from one end of the runway to the other....it was awesome...all I have now is a memory of what it looked like..can't show people a memory. Now THERE's an idea! Someone needs to invent a device that you can plug into your ear or nose and it downloads your memory onto a stick that can be plugged into a hard drive or printer for making 4x5's for $0.13! What is the resolution of the human eye, anyway? |
