Default BEST IN-FLIGHT SHOT EVER

The attached url is of a shot I got this past weekend at LA Jets. John Christienson is flying his Airworld Cougar. I think this aircraft used to belong to Kalvin Lim and won Top Gun a couple years ago.

ENJOY

Very nice camerawork as usual Dave. Of course, you have made many pilot's day by not only getting those shots, but having the prints in hand moments laternice touch!

Thanks for sharing,
Joe

Vince,

There actually is a Blue Box Pilot on board. I think he was bent forward looking for the ejection handle, just in case !

Actually at 1/6th scale the Blue Box is a bit small in the cockpit since the Cougar is 1/5th You can just see his head in this shot which was the landing on the same flight.

Actually, the reason you do not see the pilot is because he was doing this:
