I took this photo this morning around 9am at 6000 feet up in the sky...

Sorry the photo of the GMT is a little fuzzy...the sun wasn't cooperating.

Best regards,

OYSTERMANN · 17 April 2008, 08:35 AM

6000 ft is probably cold enough for our frostie to join you without fear of melting

CPCC · 17 April 2008, 09:10 AM

Great photos, thank you for sharing them.

applebook · 17 April 2008, 10:14 AM

Nice. Pepsi rocks.

joe100 · 17 April 2008, 10:43 AM

Yep, the red button is for the radio.

I decided to take the pictures after i made some time notations and had to use the GMT function to get UTC time...i never fly without it...

Best regards,

Joe

tomsmith · 17 April 2008, 11:08 AM

When the subject said 6000 feet, I erroniously assumed below sea level, and thought, "damn, that's impressive!" Then after reading I realized that it was above.

I have thought about sending my SD down on an ROV, but most of the dives are double+ it's rated depth. Maybe, I need to get a DSSD?

Nice photos, thanks.

joe100 · 18 April 2008, 03:16 AM

Thanks everyone,

I had originally planned on taking some better shots but the wind had kicked up and things were a little bumpy. By the time things had smoothed out enough for picture taking I was back in controlled airspace talking with the air traffic controllers and getting ready to land so I didn't get around to it.

Best regards,

J.
