Yep. :thumbup:

Affirmative, San Diego. And I'm new to the forum.

Specialty area: aviation photography (yoke in one hand, throttle in another hand, camera in another hand .....).

Favorite song: "Come fly with me, come fly come fly away ...... "

Meh, just left SoCal, bummer, would have loved to meet up. However, I can highly recommend the company of THORHAMMER. We went on a great downtown shoot.

Where are you moving to?

I say, let me know if you're interested in sitting in right seat (with me in left, holding the yoke ..) for some aerial photography - anywhere in the Los Angeles/San Diego area. Just a little two-seater Cessna 152 (rental), but the side windows open for a great FOV. Once I made a night flight over the runways at LAX (3500 ft northbound, 4500ft southbound) to and from Santa Monica airport from my home field of Palomar (Carlsbad) airport. Gorgeous night (just crystalline, for a change), the big jets were backed up along the glideslope as far as the eye could see like a string of pearls. The basin was a "thousand points of light" - I couldn't shoot much right then because I was busy looking out for other VFR (visual rules) traffic in the special corridor that exists there (no need to talk to ATC!).
Don't worry, I've never bent landing gear or anything else I know of ..... :wink:

(instrument rated, not that that's a guarantee of anything you understand..)
