UNREAL!

I still can't believe my friend put this plane down and ran out before it looked like this...

Prop lines

Image
More photos of the lines in propeller photos. Give it a try yourself... Take a photo with your camera phone, turn it and take one more... Did it show the same lines? If not, what type of phone are you using?

Pilatus pics...

Image
Flying from Turks to Lauderdale. See the photo with the lines in it? Does anyone know why this happens when taking photos of a propeller? It never makes sense to me because if you turn the camera sideways the lines are still in the same direction. I'm guessing it has something to do with the shutter speed but the lines don't change when the camera is turned? Try this with your camera phone next time your out flying... Turn the phone 90 degrees and take the same photo, now take a look at the prop lines... Anyone know why?

Flying the Cessna Conquest

Taking a Cessna Conquest from FL to TN.

What a sight...

Image
I've seen a hundred of so rainbows while flying throughout Florida this was the first triple. Doubles are a dime a dozen but this was my first triple rainbow. Its not very noticeable in the photo either. But it was there...

She's all cleaned up and ready to fly...

PC-12 all cleaned up...

Very Light Jets

I can't believe how these little jets are coming out of the woodwork. Everyday I fly I hear more and more of these VLJs 'Very Light Jets' flying. DayJet has quite a few flying out of Boca and training over the center of Florida. I'm pretty curious how well they will do. I know I would rather fly a small aircraft that can cruise at Jet speeds than cruise along at 150kts. I can't wait to see how well they will be doing at the end of 2008. I think by the end of 2008 we'll see many business travelers using this type of commuter air travel especially in Florida.
