Hi, Jim,
No, no filter, just Fuji 200. I've never flown a Stearman except for some
"stick time" allowed me by a classmate at Miss. State in the late 40s. The
Aerophysics Dept. had a contract with the Navy to conduct some research
using sailplanes. It had to be flown in the early morning when the air was
still. My friend was a "Jug Jockey" in the Air Guard and flew the Stearman
tow plane. I would ride up with him, to 7000 feet as I recall, and, after
release, he would let me bring the Stearman back down for a pass over the
field to drop the tow rope. It was another ten years before I could afford
to get a Private license.
