That is an excellent comparison of what the view outside looks like compared to the cockpit display.

Perhaps JimL, in days of old, we would were out there doing the deal without any aids beyond the MK I eyeball. That made me "uneasy" then and still does.

I see the electronic eyes"" adding to the pilot's situational awareness and provides an additional source of information upon which to make a decision to carry on or turn around.

I sure wish I had similarly equipped aircraft when I was trundling around the mountains in Winter....it gets awfully hard to judge height looking out the windows sometimes.

Excellent photos Maeroda!
