I've always loved airplane shots, but as old as I am I've never been to an air show.<BR/><BR/>What's the significance of switching to turboprops? Switching from what? Toilette window? Are you serious? How high do those planes fly?<BR/><BR/>Have a nice day.Swubirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16009070690312312456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8851364775510627998.post-27224947311694511142008-02-16T17:09:00.000+02:002008-02-16T17:09:00.000+02:00You really know to how to get the best from these ...You really know to how to get the best from these aircraft... you pictures of them are always excellent Max..<BR/>Have a great weekend..Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8851364775510627998.post-23661282926574027772008-02-16T12:48:00.000+02:002008-02-16T12:48:00.000+02:00These photos are great.
