    Yeah, "Glacier Girl" is one nifty find, that's for sure. I got a shot of her waltzing around the sky, with a couple of escorts, at Oshkosh AirVenture 2008.

    If you can't afford the heavy-duty gear ... have no fear, they used to do this with a piece of charcoal and a dark tent
    There's no money in this ... it's just "love of the game."
    Look, I did not create the optical laws of the Universe ... I simply learned to deal with them.
    Remember: It is usually the GLASS, not the camera, that gives you the most improvement in your photography. Refrain from "INTRO" lenses.

    These are pretty cool, but I'm wondering how all those planes stay in the air with there propellers stopped!

    Mike, it was a "controlled glide" ... very common, now that aviation fuel is so expensive.
