    Hey, any shot taken from a cockpit while flying, and still maintain technical excellence, is a certain OTC for me! Cheers!

    THAT is neat! Looks like something from Star Trek.

    Very interesting, John. Something about this shot puzzles me. The territory in the distance is sharply focused, the cockpit surroundings are very softly focused....yet the heads-up display ( which is also in the cockpit ) is sharply rendered. Got any explanation for that?

    Good to see some of your work...been too long,

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Tom, I too am amazed how the data in the HUD is always in perfect focus. PFM? The photo is f8. I did find that my camera tried to focus on the frame of the HUD a few times. When pilots first sit down in the cockpit with a HUD they are always amazed at the technology. It really makes flying a dream. We hand fly to Cat III minimums using the HUD. The glass display is actually a curved surface and the data does not all show up in my photos no matter how I focus or what aperture I use. I will post another photo that also shows the HUD data and clouds in focus but the rest of the cockpit out of focus.
