Ever catched the beacon on an airliner? If yes, put your beacons here!  :)

Sounds like an excellent idea.  

I'd hate to be the downer here, but wouldn't that exceed the forum limits if everone did that?  

I'd be more than happy to play along though if I'm wrong.

Not in the air, but do these count?

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.

Intentional accident (if that make sense). I used my mobile phone for that shot. It has a feature that lets you take 9 shots at once. It was a run up and basically I just pointed and shot. I was very surprised and pleased by the result.

When you catch it right, it makes all the difference to a picture.
