GMT Master II at 6000 Feet

I took this photo this morning around 9am at 6000 feet up in the sky...






Sorry the photo of the GMT is a little fuzzy...the sun wasn't cooperating.

Best regards,

J.

6000 ft is probably cold enough for our frostie to join you without fear of melting

The red button would be for radio communications.

But rocket launcher sounds much cooler.

Yep, the red button is for the radio.

I decided to take the pictures after i made some time notations and had to use the GMT function to get UTC time...i never fly without it...

Best regards,

Joe

When the subject said 6000 feet, I erroniously assumed below sea level, and thought, "damn, that's impressive!" Then after reading I realized that it was above.

I have thought about sending my SD down on an ROV, but most of the dives are double+ it's rated depth. Maybe, I need to get a DSSD?

Thanks everyone,

I had originally planned on taking some better shots but the wind had kicked up and things were a little bumpy. By the time things had smoothed out enough for picture taking I was back in controlled airspace talking with the air traffic controllers and getting ready to land so I didn't get around to it.

Best regards,

J.
