Some of you might get a kick out of this. I know David will. Right off the 

approach end of 4L and 4R at Logan yesterday. Scot here at work can replay 

our GPS track.



David, I still feel dizzy!



Boston controllers are tops......

Steve...



It looks like a pipe project?  We have a bunch of those going on since Enron

Ending...  The controllers love us. We have one very large project going on

at IAH ,250 AGL, 15 or so lines extending beyond airport boundaries. They

keep asking us if we can complete the project after midnight... hehehe

Steve, was this a photo mission?

David, good guess.... It's commuter rail lines. It felt really good to be 

coming home with that one in the can in one trip. We finally had smooth air. 

First time this spring season. We've been getting hammered this year.



Is 11:30am in the air too early to think about beer?

Steve...



why hell no... beer that is.  Hammered is the word here... Our guys have

come up with a "harness" arrangement that hooks up to the PAV view scope.

They fasten their heads into the harness, keeping their eye steady on the

viewfinder, avoiding the proverbial black eye... hehehe

Wait a second..... what do you mean 250' agl? You've figured out how to get 

that thing slower than I can! I've done some 1"=175' stuff from 900' or so 

and I hate it. We have to get down to about 120 for the camera to keep up 

with the forward motion compensation.... I'll sometimes put the feet down, 

or half flaps anyway.... 120 down low is my hard limit, but I'm chicken. 

(and hopefully I'll live to be an old chicken.)

Hi Nico,



Yes it was. But not just for the photos. The photos get exposed with a large 

format aerial camera, and those images get used creating maps. Nowadays the 

images also are used to create terrain models, and orthophotos like what 

Google uses.....



I made a little copy (so I don't fill up people's email) that has little 

blue boxes that represent the flight lines and 'stereo-models'. The stereo 

models are the overlap of photos from different perspectives. Remember those 

old Viewmaster things? Same kinda idea......



David's company does the same kind of photo survey flying...... Commanders 

are a favorite survey platform, for very obvious reasons! (At least to this 

gang!)

You guys are using sights? That's how I grew up with my head stuck to an 

RC-8. I know two people over the years that have gotten concussions. I 

always kept my head either firmly on, or way the hell off and was lucky.



You wouldn't believe the rig we've got here. There is a video camera in the 

lens cone that plays on a video screen whatever the camera sees. The 

camerman is sitting on the couch in the back. Plus we've got heat. It's hard 

to be sympathetic to cameramen anymore........

That has to be the essence of cool!   Loved the ground tracks -- and does the airplane in the middle of the nav display just look like a Commander, or is it?

 

 I always enjoy seeing (or reading about) working Commanders.

Yup, that's a littly bitty Commander in the display. We wrote the program 

here, and built a little icon with a very familiar looking profile! Those 

wings are gorgeous.

Steve...



We also have the vid setup, but the forward looking viewfinder helps I

guess??? As for the heater, Yes, we just today received our "found" pump (as

removed, no tag) we sent it back to C&D and they OH'ed the unit, and 400

dollars plus the 385 dollars for the "as removed" unit put us back in

heat... just in time for summer. Yea, they do still use the viewfinder

sometimes.
