Some weird scanning effects going on with the Nokia mobile phone there, looks freaky! :)

[startingout]

what plane were those taken on? looks like a skippers metro because of the garmin 100 gps, but not quite sure

[Led Zep]

Don't think Bill slaves for Skippers! :} They had KLNs IIRC.

[startingout]

it dosn't look much like a KLN to me in the movies, they usually have the cursor spin button whereas the garmin's use the separate soft silicon buttons, and are also in a white color. and when it goes to the gps you can easily make out the garmin logo. I have been in a skippers planes before and do know that the 100 is used in it before it was changed over to a more, modern system by the next buyer. I could be wrong but that is just what i can see.

I had a look on bill's sight before, some great pics, but have no clue on the paint job of those metros. Are you still flying them bill or onto the classic full time? :ok:

Are you still flying them bill or onto the classic full time?

Believe it or not, I quit the 747 Classic job overseas and am now moving 1/54th of the freight around at a time in a little noisy slow uncomfortable Metro - By choice, as I've decided to spend more time at home looking after my aging father.
Turned out to be a good thing as a few weeks ago he had a tumble down the stairs out the back and I was there to help him. (He was okay, but very nearly wasn't. 'Only' a badly dinged-up ear)

Maybe I should change my handle to 6-Wheeler now? :)

1/54th of the money and 54 times the life style?

[kingRB]

seems to be an issue with most mobile phone (cheap ccd or lens?)

My Sony Ericsson does it too!
