Well Done, Young Sir! An excellent set of screen-shots with an equally good choice of AC's - love the Lightning, I must get to know it better myself. And congratulations on getting Fat Albert onto the flight deck - which crane did you use?!? :whis:

Now, don't think I'm being critical, but a couple of explanatory comments would have been great - particularly the low flying excercise - so that we had a better idea of why you went that way, etc.... But, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words!! :thumbup:

Cheers - Dai. :cool:

Hi Kieran,

Some great shots there and good choice of aircraft, as Dai said, it was a bit difficult following the flight, we like a bit of chat!

Thanks for getting us to San Diego :thumbup:

Cheers
