Frequently Asked Questions - Miscellaneous

Q:  Can you convert some videos into another format like AVI, MPEG, or WMV?

A:  I am in the process of moving all of the videos onto my YouTube account, which requires me to convert/re-encode the older videos so that I can upload them.

Q:  Do you have your videos on DVD?

A:  Yes!  Click here to see what you can purchase.

All questions you might have regarding the DVDs can be answered in the link above.

Q:  I want you to attend a particular airshow.

A:  By the tone you said that, I'm assuming you're not affiliated with that airshow.  Most of the time when I get those e-mails, its for shows that are very far away.  One other thing - are you going to cover ALL of my expenses so I can attend that show?

Q:  When are you getting a digital camera?

A:  I already have one, but will not be taking too many pictures anymore.  I plan on investing in a point-and-shoot digital camera before my first airshow this year.

Q:  How do I go about getting a ride in a fighter like you have?

A:  Your best bet is to join your country's armed forces and apply for a position as a pilot.  Go through the necessary courses and training (and pass all of the courses and training and medical details with flying colors, no pun intended) and you'll be in the cockpit of the plane you've always wanted to fly, and you'll be living your dream! Outside of that, it is incredibly difficult to get a ride in any military airplane unless you are in some way connected to media, Hollywood, or professional sports.

I do plan on having a page full of information on how you can get a ride in any particular aircraft.  You may have to shell out big bucks, but it is worth every penny.

Q:  When do you go aircraft spotting?

A:  Lately I have not had the time or ability to go spotting.  I would usually spot airliners on weekends and military aircraft during the week.  My trips to either Langley AFB or NAS Oceana for either base's airshows usually result in some spotting at Oceana.

Q:  What if my question isn't on here?

A:  E-mail me!
