3: 4; and 5 especially grab me.

I too would like to see these larger. I have said many times that 800 pixels is far too small these days. i wont post directly here but always via a link to my Flickr page where folk can with a single click view the photo at a proper size

Actually there is a great deal of logic behind it. Knots are nautical miles per hour. This makes it much easier in long distance flight because the way lines of latitude are drawn.

The main reason is that early aircraft navigation relied on the same ideas as navigation at sea. Thus knots as the standard measurement of speed. Aircraft up to the VC10 still had a sextant installed for navigation if so required. Sometimes it was.

Most consumer zooms don't match their descriptions anyway - many of the xx-300 zooms from the '90s only went to about 265mm when tested.

Indeed and even zooms of today can have a much shorter FL when close focussing due to focus-breathing

Going off on a tangent here , but it always amuses me that newspapers (and online media) in the UK when reporting on an aircraft story, almost always report the altitude in metres. This is despite the fact that the entire world, with the exceptions of Russia and China fly to the altitude measurement of feet.

Great photos with super lighting, but I must say that he doesn't seem too impressed by the idea!!

Phil

He is a darling to photograph at first, but it doesn't take long for him to get bored. He is then more concerned that his brother might be raiding the treat-box and he loses interest. The second shot here was a complete fluke as he stopped posing right as i was taking the shot, and in my opinion he gave me the best capture of them all.
