Love sharing the view, however with recent, relatively ambiguous changes to our regulations at the airline and in the FARs about taking photos from the cockpit, I've stopped using a camera inflight since 2013. Prior to that, company guidance stated that anything above 10,000 feet (during the non-sterile times in the cockpit) was fine.

 

So now I'm more interested in taking pictures from the cockpit of a paraglider, the cheapest and most enjoyable way to fly!

Kent has an eye for detail which makes his photos unique in composition. He has a way of capturing the unusual from a perspective few of us will ever be lucky enough to experience. We get to travel in the cockpit through his well-trained eye. For a guy who spends so much time in the sky, Kent remains genuine and down-to-earth, always enthusiastically willing to explain in detail any questions one may have about the technical aspects of what he captures. Without doubt, Kent is my favourite flickr geek!
