Nice wristshot!

The SUB LV is really growing on me. I'll have to put it on my want(need) list.

Ahoi there !

Indeed like a fish out of water...!
But I'm pretty sure the LV likes it up there though...

A niiiice front-office you're working in!
A Falcon 2000 (Dassault) if I've spotted it correctly?

& all the best

Petros got it right! Dassault Falcon 2000. A fine machine. I picked up a Canon SD880 and used macro. The light at 39000 feet is pretty good evn for a point and shoot. My co pilot is not a watch guy and thougt I was nuts. Thanks for the replies and I'm glad to hear you are still enjoying my old sub. I missed it so much I picked the LV up and absolutely love it.
I still have my GMT c and wear it in the cockpit but I could not take the LV off to goto work! Besides,we have GMT displayed in 3 places in the cockpit!

Light up at the "real" FLs is great indeed and makes for many memorable
occasions and shots! Keep'em coming!!!

Yup, I know... not too many watch guys up there, it seems...
But if you work hard, you'll spread the word... and there will be
converts!!!

and I'm sure you could squeeze a few more out of the Collins avionics...!!!

No seriously now, the Falcon 2000 is surely a great bird to work in and
with!!! Congratulations for being there!!!


Happy landings & best regards

Petros
