    Hi guys,

    4 hours of waiting isn’t that much… i remember that i had an airshow here in the netherlands at Gilze Rijen AFB. (i think that was 97 or 98). took us about 5 hours for a 20 KM trip… That’s why i always choose to have Trains and shuttlebusses here… or just the shuttlebus ;)… saves me a few pennies on the parkingfee also LOL :)…

    I recently bought a second-hand Nikon D50 as a back-up to my D80. It takes the same type of Nikon lenses, uses SD cards and uses the same battery charger albeit different batteries. My D80 has done nearly 30000 shutter actuations and may peg out at any time.

    30000???

    That’s not even a quarter about what can achived… 120.000 is a standard

    Well IMHO you pressed your shutter button a bit to much lately… ;)… No more bursts at Airshows for you anymore mr. Moggy

    I use pentax K-x (also for vids) but that doesn’t make my shuttercounter up…

    perhaps someone else has a different view on this subject

    Well it was a real great episode, but i wonder why they intended to leave the dutch one out of the shots… (with the red spinner, the one Jon Romain has, H-99 i remember correctly)…. To bad it’s now repainted in a UK one… It should be returned to it’s Irish glory ;)…

    Cheers,

    That’s indeed an amount that you don’t think is very impressive… Only i don’t think it’s fair to call it the Worlds worst air crash pagen01… although an crash is the worst that can happen… I don’t want to be rude… but in my honest opinion the Tenerife air disaster was the worst…

    Don’t know where you live in the Netherlands, but from Utrecht it is at max. a 4 hour drive. It is a little further than Calais.
    So it is possible to do it on a one day trip.

    Well i know that… (im from the same area ;))… but i intend to bring my Girlfriend aswell.. so little bit of romance wouldn’t harm right ;)….

    Well i guess so… but for the people that doesn’t speak or read french it’s a big chunk to figure out where it is :)… i gues it’s between Audembert and Wissant… But that’s quite a big place 😉

    Any more specific details would be nice 🙂
