Thanks AW, they are great cameras, we have just replaced them with the Nikon D2X.
The cameras I work with daily take two people to lift, the colour film comes in 250feet rolls and 2 hours to process.

thats the trouble with a jet, they have no glide backup, "no engine, no forward flight, no jet"

Only one thing for the pilot to do, pull the handle and go!

Not quite. I was a crew chief on an Air force HH-43 SAR in Turkey in the 60's. We were on a rescue drill over the Tarsus Sea at 110 knots at 35' when the engines shut down. Guess the rest.
