I am going to be going to 2 tours on thursday. 1 at FedEx and 1 at Beechcraft in Mesa and i was told that I would be able to take some cockpit shots. What settings should I use for inside shots. I have a D3000 and the basic flash. So any thought and suggestions would be great. Thanks

Give it more then 4 hours ;) Sometimes people can't respond right away.

Anyway, I would just use Manual mode. Set the shutter speed to 1/60 and then adjust your F-stop according to your distance to the subject. Will take a few shots to get the hang of it but it's fairly easy.

Only reason I had said that was becouse I noticed that there was 48 hits on this thread and nobody had anything to  say. But thank you I am going to try that.

Happy spotting.

You need to remember that I have posts feeding to Twitter automatically, so when you see a lot of views it's probably because your post hit twitter and people are following the link from there.
