My fiancee surprised me for my Christmas/anniversary gift and paid for me to do an "air combat" thing. They take an old military trainer with controls in the back and let you fly against another plane with another paying passenger. It was a good time, albeit a bit short. I wasn't able to grab any pictures during the engagements as I was busy, and I only took pictures with her Nikon Coolpix P&S so they aren't that great. I still have one more picture from my 7D on the ground that needs edited.

Now that's a great present! At least you have some pictures to prove you were up there.

I wish there had been room to take my 7D in with me. The pictures from the little nikon are all slightly out of focus. Oh well. I did get prop blur though!
