[Elecraft] So you think your K3 got special treatment?

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

The in-flight photo was taken by a pilot friend and professional 
photographer, Dan Dawson, while we flew formation from Watsonville up to 
Half Moon Bay for lunch on Sunday, Dec 30th. (He was a passenger in the 
other plane.)

A friend wanted pics of his plane, a recently refurbished 1970's Cessna 
172, so I was the photo plane on the way up. After a free lunch from 
him, Dan moved to the 172 plane and they took pics of me on the way back 
home.

See http://flickr.com/photos/dandawson/tags/airtoair/
for the complete picture set of both planes. If you look carefully at 
the high resolution versions, you can see me peering back at the other 
plane to maintain spacing.

And to answer another frequent question - No, I do not make HF QSOs 
while in flight as PIC :-)  (But when Lerma is PIC I might sneak in one 
or two VHF QSO's. No HF in the plane yet..)

73, Eric  WA6HHQ
