Look do stop taking pictures of those things, it’ll ruin your shiny new camera 😉

What make and model? (The camera :rolleyes: )

I wanted an SLR but couldn’t afford it. Having looked through many digital camera mags for something roughly within my price range, I finally chose the Kodak Easyshare DX6490, which has a 10x optical zoom (38 – 380mm equivalent) and came highly recommended in virtually all the reviews I read. It will take a bit of getting used to, but it appears to be reletively simple to operate (thank God!) and should be enough for my simple needs at air displays. I can’t compete with Robbo and his machine!

Thanks for the comments to date – it was a bloody cold and windy afternoon when I took it. The pilot, bless his/her cotton socks, didn’t do as I expected. I had positioned myself to get a good shot as he heli-taxied past to line up for a departure on 28; unfortunately, as you can see, he decided to take the quick way out, hence the less than perfect picture. Language was pretty strong as he went, I can tell you – something to do with questioning his/her parentage!! Better luck next time.
