    In the interests of disclosure, I have a 3G for two years now and do plan on upgrading in a few months to the 4 when the hysteria dies down. Here in the DFW area I haven't had an issue with...
  2. Re: Storm (Tornado?) Near LGA and Throughout NY Area

    Smallest tornadic supercell documented I believe was only about 22,000 feet in height. Quite the midget when the monsters we see in the southern Plains can easily top 50,000 feet.

  4. Re: Storm (Tornado?) Near LGA and Throughout NY Area

    Instability in the area wasn't enough to support uber-beast mesocyclonic supercells that routinely shell use with Mother Nature's artillery, hail. But impressive storms, nonetheless. Some storm...

    Video from a Charlotte news station: http://www.wsoctv.com/video/23999670/index.html

    That's quite a crowd at the spotting overlook at KCLT!
  7. Re: An-225 landing in Charlotte (KCLT) today?

    Re: My favorite aviation joke

    Just outside the town of Gun Barrel City here in Texas (actual town SE of Dallas, believe it or not) there's an old farmer with a hunting dog named Co-Pilot known for his skills. One day a group guys...

    Re: Way to go Sergio!

    Nicely done. I love unusual angles and elements that give a sense of action, it this case the condensation trails/cloud.

    Re: If You Were Rich...

    If I were rich, I'd hire a bunch of lawyers and bury the TSA in motions and injunctions past their eyeballs.

    Then I'd go see if Don Scherer wants to sell me his Beech Starship.
  14. Re: Some shots from the Dallas/Fort Worth area

    Thanks for the comments, guys. I'm still trying to get a feel for the amount of sharpening to apply.

    This past Wednesday I had some time while waiting for some of the Chicklets' summer activities...

    Re: Talk About Rare! (Photo)

    Very cool. Wish I could make out the fuselage codes- the "C" in a square on tail at least indicates the 96th Bomb Group from Snetterton Heath, UK.
  17. Re: Some shots from the Dallas/Fort Worth area

    Thanks, guys! I still consider myself a DSLR newbie and though I shoot everything manually except autofocus, there's still lots for me to learn. I'm hoping seeing how you guys do it will help, some...
  18. Re: Some shots from the Dallas/Fort Worth area

    On 11 February we had a freak snowstorm that dumped over 12 inches on the DFW area. That's not much compared to what parts of the East Coast got, but it was tons of fun to go planespotting that day....

  20. Some shots from the Dallas/Fort Worth area

    Hello all, first post here, but I recognize some names from both Twitter and Flickr. Thought all y'all could use some Texas flavor(see, "y'all" is for one or two people, but a larger group of people...
