My heart is racing harder than the engines and I am in complete overload. Things seem to slllloooowwwww to a snails pace witch is good because I can think much more clearly on the job at hand, don’t rush the shot, wait for the auto focus.

For those who like the cockpit, A very masculine cockpit!

The gunners turret in the aft of the cockpit give an impressive view forward over the cockpit!

Open roof behind the cockpit is great for sucking out hats and camera's (We were told that the dent in the tail from a passenger that did not listen to the no camera outside the plane rule was just fixed and they did not want any more dents)

 

Our flight took us north of Long Island over the L.I. Sound were the view was much better than my camera can do!

Then I jumped back to the nose for a good shot of me, well I was over heated but whatever

Can you see the nose art?

Sitting so far in the rear of the plane is very cool. Upon touchdown it felt like we were all over the runway because small rudder inputs with the mains so far forward gave us in the back a massive pivot!

I could have kept going to china and back! Talk about a dream come true! We knocked down the fence turning around, got off the plane to everyone laughing and pointing at the fence on the ground!
