I've been terrible at keeping my blog up-to-date, but having promised some of you I would set down how I planned and shot the #MilkyWay during a flight, I've finally managed to pen my #photography #tutorial of sorts setting out my processes.

Beware: it's rather longer than I expected it to be. But hopefully it gives you lots of helpful tips!

After around 2 weeks later, I finally managed to edit a photo I shot of the #MilkyWay whilst on a flight. Despite being an avid aurora shooter, this is rather surprisingly the first shot I've ever planned to shoot of the Milky Way!

Shot from 35,000 ft above Austria.

I miss my plane and youtube has fed me this #cessna #c140 walk around #video - it is a really nice looking example. I also do like how fabric wings fly :)

Looks like Trent Palmer is selling his #Freedomfox.

I don't know about that - $230k is a bit steep, but the market will sort it out. I'm expecting a sponsorship from FreedomCarbonCrafters or alike :)

Neat airplane, but the super lightweight 4s and lightweight 5/7s seem to fly better. Even Trent's videos were more fun to watch when he was flying lighter souped-up 912 vs the heavy + nose-heavy 915.

I hope his new plane is a fun side-up-grade!! :)

Discussion on landing fees program in FLorida.

Europe is a fan and their GA is barely scraping by.

US has system of aviation FAA fund from fuel sales with local governments providing and charging for hangars, tie downs and fuel sales revenue along with taxes from business on airport related to aviation. It works and promotes aviation.

Now local governments are trying to tax on services and infrastructure already paid for.

Florida Airports Lining Up To Impose New Fees

A new proposal to impose landing fees and use ADS-B data for invoicing operators at several Florida GA airports is drawing criticism from the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA).
