Because of our love for aviation, the bond between pilots is usually strong. Sometimes it is fun to fly together, practice and help each other with our proficiencies. Flying in formation is not my thing, it requires equal skills of both pilots, exceptional concentration and a love of precision fly in both VFR and IFR conditions. As a photographer, flying low and slow with the windows open is best. I have practiced off-hand shooting for years to be able to safely operate SLRs in flight.
