Some more results from the LUMIX Hitest F16 http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk4/hansderee/spotting/91419.jpg C17 50106 'Spirit of Bob Hope' (Laugh or I'll shoot) http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk4/hansderee/spotting/50106.jpg visual approach AMX pair http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk4/han...
