Agreed, rainyjim - it is. But, it's also possible. I think I shared my gear/settings on this forum previously. Happy to share my process again if anyone is interested.

To the 'directly overhead' comment; yep, that's very valid and true. No tail numbers on the bottoms of these aircraft.

Just in this thread, I count ~4-6 people who are against this activity. I'm in contact a few others of similar mindset, separate from this thread. As mentioned, enough people making waves, especially together in the same room with DOH, FAA, and other reps... could put new pressure on the flights, yes??

Just a thought.

Here's a fun (not!) example of one persons Christmas Day experience (in Orchidland) with exactly what we're discussing on this thread (what would Steven Tyler think of this??):
