I completely agree with you shuttle_guy.<br /><br />Ben Cooper is a genius behind the lens.<br /><br />We are lucky to have him on SDC too. <br /><br />Great to see, that Atlantis is back safely, but I had no real doubts of that outcome.<br /><br />NASA are geniuses at this sort of thing & the 747 is a great aircraft.<br /><br />Andrew Brown. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080">"I suddenly noticed an anomaly to the left of Io, just off the rim of that world.

I have to add my kudos, BPCooper. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> You do fantastic work! I often show your pictures to my youngest brother, who is pursuing a career in photography. He's impressed as well. We are very fortunate indeed to have you here! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>
