Rick,
I kind of confused why you posted these here as well.
The purpose of this particular forum is is to critique photographs.

You should try a shot dive bombing on someone. Ha Ha!!!!!

Neat shots.

I think it was good that you posted it here, for I think that everyone can learn to 'tell a story' with photographs. This posting shows the flying camera, the engineer, and the actual photo taken by the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). It walks the viewer through the sequence and doesn't even require textual description. I think that's different and very interesting.

It's good to mix things up a bit,

Thanks...
My thoughts exactly GB1 I will take more, I WILL be dive bombing. :O) This Sunday We are going to stage a dog fight with 4-6 Radio contol scale warbirds.
My job will be to fly in circles and document this R.C. "Fly in" It will be a great day in the skies over San Jose,Ca. FUN in the sun.
Alot of fun... Mixin' it up
Thanks everyone.

cool photos. Keep posting. This is not so serious that we can't see photos such as this. We're just having fun and learning new thing.

I'd like to see a photo of office life in a high rise as you fly by. Can yo do that or would you be violating some laws. If you can't do that. I want to see another plane in the air beside yours as you fly, both parralleling each other down the runway. That would be a challenge.

Hm, post 7/11 I reckon an airplane of any size next to an office building is going to attract th wrong sort of attention...

[Brian001]

haha, the office life is a great idea, unpractical but great.

that "dog fight" should turn some rather cool photos. i agree, a dive bomb taking ictures of your self or a volunteer would be good as well.

this has endless possiblities although the office one would be the best
