Thanks guys for the replies. The side by side configuration is a Russian Cruiz, we use it for training, as it's dual control. Steering and all. We also use it for sightseeing as it's the core of our business. Our company gives tourist a ride for their money, (vs a run for their money...LOL). We do skydiving, banner towing and all sorts of other fun activities that when combined with the setting (Himalayas) is just (-)

The other trikes, are also Russian. They are Biman - 1, and were designed on a (going out of business) Russian MIG plant. Titanium leaf springs.

The plane, is an Aeroprakt A-22

We also have an Airborne.

The plus side for us, is that all our aircraft are registered with civil aviation for commercial flight! The plus, is that we can legally charge for sightseeing flights, train pilots, etc. The down side, is that civil aviation thinks we are 747s and asks us where our flight attendants are, and why our aircraft are not equipped with a lavatory and or smoke detector.

Enjoy the pics. I'd post more, (just too many and it's hard to choose the good ones.)

Did see the vids, but I say a picture is worth a thousand words. Much better than vids.

Why do you want to choose between pics, why not post them all.

Hi Guys!

I would like to start taking pictures (high quality), obviously as an aviation enthusiast I would like to take pictures of planes.

I have got a Fuji S700 camera. xxx

Before I move on and get a better camera (i fancy the Canon 1000D), I would like to take the best pictures i can with the current camera.

Any tips? Advice? ** ** **

Thanks
