OMG! THIS IS MY X SQUADRON!!! I know all of the planes, and tho you blur technicians and pilots face i can recognize them ! but i wont tell of course :) it is an pleasant surprise to me.
Alf Blume 04-Jun-2007 07:25
I appreciate the problems in a tight cockpit - having tried it many times in Chipmunk, Piper Cub, Hughes 500 - I can see that it's even more difficult in a jet with the extra headgear . .

Nice shots all around!
