Sam, never heard of any problems shooting onboard airliners at any time - I've
done it often.  The bunk about no electronic devices below 10,000 ft is exactly
that, bunk.  Only problems ever documented were from FM radio recievers, whose
intermediate frequency is close enough to navigation frequencies to conceivably
cause some interference.  Cell phones are prohibited for a different reason
entirely - cell switching logic can only accomodate on-ground transmissions.  I
chuckle each time the flight attendants announce that the devices are prohibited
until the captain taxies to the gate.  If he needs his VOR navigation radio set
to find the terminal, he has bigger problems.

Biggest problem on airliners is the horrid condition of the window glazing, as
well as stress polarizartion under pressurization loads.

took the pictures with my OM from...)
