We have just got back from a weeks holiday on Icaria, birthlace of Icarus, and scene of his fatal crash. The first day though we spent in Athens, and I tried to get a few non-tourist type shots of the Acropolis.
C+C welcome!

I like all of them, excellent images.

Well done to the podium places, great shots! Shame there were not more entries, hopefully next time!!

I prefer the Lubitel version, too....

I am trying to imagine how much of your luggage is taken up by camera gear when you travel!

Well, they keep it simple for the pilots! What on earth is the Boeing Paranoia Pin? Or do I really not want to know?

I wonder if anyone will come up with a hack to use the K5's tethering software on the K7:

I have an Icybox RAID NAS system, with two identical 1tb disks saving everything in duplicate. Fantastic bit of kit, automatically backing up all my stuff twice a week.... until one day my computer decided it couldn't find it anymore. Now it's a brick. If anyone knows how I could get it working again I would be very grateful. It uses Linux.

Now I use two My Passport 1tb HDD's, but I found the supplied software too buggy so have removed it.

It is rumoured here that the conversion from the B777 to B787 is to be done as a differences course, and completely on the MFTD (fixed-base training device) trainer and none of it in the simulator.....




The 777 flies so much like the 767, in spite of being FBW and twice the mass, that I would expect it to be a fairly straightforward transition from the 777 to 787. The great thing about Boeing's design philosophy is they like to keep things simple, even with all the new technology they are incorporting into their aircraft.

That's what I said. I did my B777 conversion (a shortened course due to it's commonality with the B767) in the sim (6 sessions on a flat-panel trainer, 6 in the full-flight sim including a check-ride) then flew 14 sectors with a Training Captain occupying the right-hand seat (the last two being a line-check) on normal line operations before being released to the line.
