Great Pics!!! >>> If you look carefully at the high resolution versions, you can see me peering back at the other plane to maintain spacing.
This is some flying term that I am unfamilar with. Is "maintain spacing" important in flying? ;-) ;-) "Never let another airplane get in the way of a good photo" The in-flight photo was taken by a pilot friend and professional photographer, Dan Dawson, while we flew formation from Watsonville up to Half Moon Bay for lunch on Sunday, Dec 30th. (He was a passenger in the other plane.) A friend wanted pics of his plane, a recently refurbished 1970's Cessna 172, so I was the photo plane on the way up. After a free lunch from him, Dan moved to the 172 plane and they took pics of me on the way back home. See http://flickr.com/photos/dandawson/tags/airtoair/ for the complete picture set of both planes. If you look carefully at the high resolution versions, you can see me peering back at the other plane to maintain spacing. And to answer another frequent question - No, I do not make HF QSOs while in flight as PIC :-) (But when Lerma is PIC I might sneak in one or two VHF QSO's. No HF in the plane yet..) 73, Eric WA6HHQ _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
