On the descent into Anchorage. The most brilliant aurora I have ever seen. Dancing pink and green ribbons.

Having worked in the photo industry all my life, several hours every single work day this was my view. 100% darkness. When processing film there is no such thing as a "safelight" and it has to be total 100% inky black darkness. I worked by feel alone.



Now on occasion this is my office view. Or more accurately, my laptop as it operates the camera system.

^double Garmin1000 MFD's. Nice! Some pilots use an iPad duct taped to the dash.
There's never enough room for screens.

Hi Paul,

That unit is 1500W. I test and calibrate up to 4000kW which are water cooled.

Yes, very interesting work. Between the optics side and the electronics side, it can be fun to diagnose and work with. I've been fortunate enough to work with some great engineers. I'm just a low-level technician.
