Yeah, maybe we are taking our precautions one step too far, but why not?  
Now that I've got the hang of loading the film it really isn't that big a 
chore; and it's great piece of mind knowing that I've done everything I 
possibly could to insure quality results, and that's the name of the game 
as far as I can tell, right?

BTW, if the weather cooperates, we should fly our first test shots with the 
70mm color IR next week.  Maybe some 70mm B&W film too.  All we need now is 
for the trees to leaf out (at least we'll have some green grass to 
photograph).
