Get in line...

Too rich for my blood as well I'm afraid.

I'll vouch for the guys putting this together though. No doubt it will be an awesome experience.

That is so cool! I wish I could justify it beyond just wanting to do it.

Well, upon further review and discussions with my financial advisor, I'm signed up...

It's right in my backyard for goodness sakes so how could I not, right? :shock:

No such damn thing as "Government Money."

It's my money and I want to keep it!

So do you have to use the provided "latest Nikon gear"? LOL. Should be a great opportunity. All things considered, 3k isn't that much money to support a B-17, Mustang and whatever else they have for you to shoot. Plus the photo plane too. Just remember Jay, you won't be able to get away with 1/60th hanging out the side of an airplane!

I promised Richard I'd look at the nice Nikon gear...

As for 1/60, I'm considering a Gyro rental.

Scheduled shooting platform: Shorts Sky Van...

Good head-on opportunities I think!

Very nice work. Is this from the Belgian Air To Air Academy project I've seen on Fence Check?
