What's with the pictures? Most of the area of the picture is blacked out. Your camera looks like it needs some setup to take better pictures.

They look like screen captures instead of taking the picture using a camera app.

Maybe I can turn the stupid phone side ways when I do a screen shot so it fills the entire screen .

Picture issues aside I have to say the restore on the plane looks great. Always nice to see old tools look new again.
