The Topaz suite does a great job, my only complaint is that it seems every time I launch it there is a 5 minute download for a yet another update.

I just use Denoise but it does want to update pretty often. Not as bad as LRTimelapse though. Every time I run the thing.

BOS-HNL reigns at 5,095 miles on the circle map. MCO-HNL comes in at 4,757.

@BobDDuck rocking a Sony and making me feel like the A57 sitting in my camera bag needs some love and attention. . .

Boston is the longest, then JFK, then Miami. Not sure if IAD or EWR are longer than Orlando. I upgraded from an A7ii in January and I'm trying to get as much use out of it as I can without traveling anywhere.

The original airplane that knew how to party touching in LAS down late in her life in 2015, not long before she was replaced by a 737-700 after having been flying in this livery since 1995, so 20 years old in this photo! Ended up going on an unplanned adventure with @KLB on this trip, still owe that man beers.

You have to catch a pic of me landing in SFO one of these days!

If you ever let me know when you're here! LOL free all the time these days with no job, just doing all the written exams or watching porn, not much in between when my girlfriend is at work. SJC would be way easier for pics since you guys aren't that big being shot from the bayshore at SFO, comes out soft usually when I try to catch biz jets unless you're on 28L which is uncommon.

Hey what headset Is that? Company provides them in the 'bus but not the Guppy, so it's something I gotta think about now...

Look at the David Clark One or Pro X. Super comfortable.

Gross using a common headset.

Have you seen people's hair? Worse, have you seen how far the mic muff is from the lips?


My vote is for a Bose A20

The night OPS remain pretty quiet around these parts, FL's State of Emergency notwithstanding...

...almost miss seeing those Porter Q400s in this alleyway, as loudas they'd get...

Lol, reminds me when I had my first ramp tower gig doing a UA alleyway in 2013, the CO\UA merger was still pretty early on and the CO pilots were just starting to fill up SFO as the 737s moved in and took over a lot of routes. In my first year, there were at least 4 or 5 times that a United Airbus said "We'll follow the Guppy" or "Give way to the Guppy" or "Which Guppy are we waiting on" and a CO captain came on all pissed like "What in tarnation!" and, oddly(in hind sight, maybe not haha), the UA pilots would just let them be pissed until I mediated and explained it was what the -300\500s were called at UA LOL. One UA pilot just replied "I said, you're a 'Guppy'" and just left it there. It was pretty funny, got to the point where I heard "Guppy" from a bus driver and went "Oh no..." LOL.

Occasionally, while monitoring UA's ops freq, I'd hear guys in United's G Ramp switch over and complain about being called a "Guppy" also, sometimes by Ramp Control haha.

So, here's 2 cool 2013 pics of the alley from back in the day, when the "thumb" gates were briefly used for mainline 737s again for the first time in over a decade before going back to CRJ\ERJ gates:

oh yeah it's the same over here with the natives. Bonus points if you call them "alaskan"

N247GS sitting quietly on a gate at BOS Terminal C, while the construction continues forever in the background. . . These guys are so much fun to watch, the cowboys that they typically are. I do miss these guys being such a constant alert in the background whenever we're working flights on this end of things. It'll be good to have them back, and busy. Whenever that'll be.

These guys were cowboys indeed. Tell them to remain ENE of Minot Light ( lighthouse just east of BOS) and they would practically take the top of it off snap-hooking into RWY 27 a few hundred feet above the water.

I did a jumpseat on Cape - sat in the right hand seat. The Capt had an instructors license so I asked if he'd fill out my log book for a couple of hours of multitime. Didn't happen.
