Eric,

Your Cessna looks pretty new. Can you share some details on its vintage and options? Fellow Cessna lovers would like to know these details...

73, Doug -- K0DXV

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..)

It would take a lot less than that to get Eric out of
the "office" and into the escape machine (Cessna). I'd
venture to say that if the company aircraft could fly
above the weather, he'd meet you at Cook just to
practice his IFR. Co-Pilot would be Lerma. ;-)

Lerma must also be an expert photographer, how'd she
get that first photo while in the aircraft? ======
