  Thanks George, for another interesting report. It is nice for
those of use who live 100's of miles from the nearest stereo
photographer and 1000's from the nearest stereo photo club.

  I have heard that US airlines do not allow people in the cockpit
for security or liability reasons (not sure why). Canadian airline
do allow people to visit the cockpit and often invite people
to visit over the PA system

  I have some shots of the pilot and cockpit of an Air BC plane
that I flew in on my trip to Seattle last year.  They even let
me use my flash. These are from my pre-Realist days and so were
taken with my Nishika with the centre two lenses blacked out.
I still haven't figured out how to get decent prints from these
half frame shots so they are still in the camera.
