10. The SuperTanker only flew a few missions, one near to me.

It flew directly over my home, no payload delivered, at some scary low altitude.

Let's just say, one can just barely make out "Spirit of John Muir"



I carried a Coolpix P510 for some 10 years. It did everything I needed, including really good close-ups and 1000mm. shots, so I bypassed the DSLR days entirely. I finally went mirrorless with the Z series, and all the old "F" lenses work fine, non-AI included, (they were verboten on DSLR's)

The P510, which used to be my "big" digital camera, is still working and is my carry everywhere camera now.

I got this shot on Highway 41 out the driver's window, "aim in the general direction and click." (cropped below)
33 mm. effective focal length, just a bit narrower than the 24 mm setting.
