To EDLP.
Could not resist downing tools to get I couple of shots of this late night visitor (I was changing a flush valve on the forward toilet of a 737-800 at the time Smiley

)
I found the pilot, and as it goes, if you don't ask, you don't get.

All pictures (as usual) taken with my mobile/cell phone/handy (Sony Ericsson K800i)

That's fair enough. There's no point getting bogged down in your work! Grin

Wow, Matt. I seriously say you should invest in a good camera. These opportunities are stupendous!

I have a Nikon F2, a small point and shoot digital and a Minolta 400si, but carrying them about for a just in case shot is not really practical. The F2 for example, you can do weight training with it Grin

. For these opportunities I need something that is small and compact. The amount of "stuff" I have in my pockets for work, plus a company mobile phone, my own phone kills two birds with one stone.

Lots of aftermarket mods on that...
Weather radar display replaced by some GPS unit that might have weather capabilities, different transponder with TCAS and another bendix thing that i cant identify.

And no ARK5 type radios but an older version (the huge things in the middle of the navigator panel, 6th picture)

And a small correction
Your 'CB panel' are the system power switches... the real CBs are the brown knobs on the left of the FE panel

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here
