[Leica] IMG: For Aviation Fans

[Jim Nichols]

Routes are rather  limited, and straying from them infringes on the 
rights of others.  My kitchen ceiling still bears the cracks caused by 
Lockheed F-35 supersonic test flights when the bureaucrats deemed it 
acceptable to perform supersonic test flights over the vast wastelands 
of Tennessee.  The sonic booms struck almost daily, and complaints fell 
on deaf ears. :-(
