    That's why a big lens is called a compensation lens.

    Compensating for lack of respect on CUK.

    Is that like a Pilot Licence?

    I'll stick with the 3-F adage (Not the FFF system of measurement). If it flies, floats or f...s, rent it by the hour.

    And anyway, when you're hanging out the side of one with a compensation lens, it's hard to get a good shot of the wildlife if you can't afford someone to pilot you.

    A "plane" will fly itself when in trim.

    I can fly something with far more "Jesus" bolts!
    A helicopter?
    More money than sense.

    True. They are still using some old metal in Africa, although most of the flights I've taken when there have been in 4-12 seaters in GA8s, 206s and 208s.

    Yep, and while we were up there, visited this place when it still had the original name: Hwange National Park - Wikipedia

    Well, old-aged muppet next to me refuses to lower the arm-rest as he is squarely in half of my seat. His wife was pretty large so instead of squashing up to her he takes over my seat. He turned psychotic punched me in the ribs and kicking my leg rubgy ruck style. Crew were good, took me to the galley, tried to get matey boy to move but he refused to obey their command, so put me to another seat and kept me supplied with gratis gin and tonic all flight. Crew are making a flight report, I really hope that the airline take their own action to the loon.

    I felt like I was in filming for Airport 3......
    its worse in internal flights within the USA. been on lots of flights with John Candy body types on both sides. They are a lot more timid though, as out there they are conditioned not to be physically aggressive as everything escalates straight from minor argument to someone pulling out a pistol.
