Work last night

Postby expat » Mon Jun 09, 2014 10:48 am

A few shots at work last night once I was finished. Taken at about 03:00 to 04:00 as the day was starting to break. They turned out well considering they were all hand held, as my tripod is 500km away.....

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

An Aircraft Mechanic only needs two tools, Duct Tape and WD40.
If it moves and it's not supposed to - use the Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and it's supposed to - use the WD40.

Matt, you've certainly got an eye for good pictures.


If a few hundred of us come over to visit, can you give us a personal tour? :D

Maybe have a party in some of those cockpits? I'll bring the beer. :lol:


Even if the answer is no, you still have some great shots there.

The eye is greatly helped by having the correct ID to enable one to wander around the ramp. If I had to take my pictures from the other side of the fence it would be a different matter........

Unfortunately, I can one take one person at a time on this ramp and you must be registered 24hrs in advance. A couple of hundred....I am only here for a week in every four.... :lol:
You can still send me the beer though......

DONE, my friend.

300 cases (half Light and half regular) of Bud Light Chelada are already on their way to you.

And, ummm. It's just what it looks like - Beer with spicy tomato/clam juice, a dash or two of lime juice, celery, and whatever else they couldn't get rid of.

I have sipped the nectar of Satan, and its name is Bud Light & Clamato Chelada.


The taste? How do I describe the taste?

Have you ever dipped your hand into the dark, mysterious waters of the Inner Harbor and licked your fingers? ...

Me neither. But I imagine it would taste something like Bud Light & Clamato Chelada, only less salty.



Who knows? This could be the next BIG thing in Germany! :D


PS - don't drink to many of them all at once, they're 4.2% alcohol.

I have a Nikon D7000 and I use an old Nikor manual lens from the 70's. The lens weights more than the camera!! However, as long as you can play with the stutter speed, most digital cameras can produce this sort of thing.............oh, and a ramp pass also helps..... :lol: :lol:
