Great videos Cobra! I want to do a time-lapse like that as well, I think there's a way I can do it with my camera but I may end up getting the GoPro2 for video - I really like the wide field of view. :lol: Sorry LD. iPhone needs to get 4G! It loads pretty fast on my Thunderbolt 4G - but I also pull ...

Some new ones - taken with my Sony NEX 5N and an 18-55mm lense. Awesome Christmas gift! Takes excellent HD video as well and it's really tiny - the lense is quite a bit larger than the camera body. http://www.steedagt.net/ERJ145/Pictures/EditedSonyNEX5N/APDisconnect.jpg http://www.steedagt.net/ERJ14...

@ Con - :lol: I think that's probably a Skywest route, but we may also fly it for United - not sure.

Thanks Ells! Yeah that epic fight on the dash is awesome.

Great video 8) Very cool that the real team made this happen - although I know the VPJT is now technically the real team as well. We need details about the day! What maneuvers did you get to fly? How did it feel compared to the sim, was it easier or harder? Details! Would be cool if there was a raw ...

That's an awesome find LD! I started in '95 with Janes USNF Gold on a PC that was much more powerful than your first. It was a HP 133 MHz. I've got my Falcon 4.0 binder at home somewhere, got it on Dec. 12th '98, release day. I think I was running a HP 400 MHz PC. I didn't know your grandad was a '3...

http://web.iwebcenters.com/usaimf/Stories.ivnu Those days are ancient history now, and the airline business is a different ball game -- all a matter of pushing buttons, the modern pilots tell me. Well, I'm glad that my flying was done in the old days, like, for example, when I was a co-pilot on a DC...

+ Eastern Airlines mail pilot Paul Charles was blown 100 miles off course in a storm and found himself over Putnam County this week late in the night and perilously low in fuel. He buzzed the town, trying to get someone's attention for help. Service station operator Charles Stone heard him. So did C...
