Because of very bad weather at Dallas&#8217;s Love Field, we sat on the plane in Orlando for an hour. We landed safely at about noon. The flight to Little Rock was delayed several times by a few minutes, but then we sat on the plane at the gate of an hour and then and then on the runway for another hour. The total delay was more than 2 hours. The plane, however, landed right side up in Arkansas at 4:41pm. I was seriously in of standing up, getting a nice dinner, and hitting the sack. <\/p>\n<p>Had I gotten in at 2:30 as scheduled, the plan was to photograph a minor league baseball game across the river from the event hotel. Instead, I had dinner and slept ten hours!<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><center>ngg_shortcode_0_placeholder<\/center><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>This image was created on Wednesday 8 May 2024 on the Spring 2024 Fort DeSoto IPT.

There were some Royal and Sandwich Terns flying by and occasionally landing a good distance away. Working at 840mm, I figured &#8220;What the heck&#8221; and tried for some f\/9 &#8212; 840mm  flight shots. I was surprised at how quickly AF acquired at f\/9 and was even more surprised when I found a few sharp flight shots.<\/p>\n<p>This is excellent news for folks for whom the 200-600 G lens is their workhorse super-telephoto lens. The 200-600 with the a9 iii is superb for flight. Being able to gain more reach by adding the 1.4X TC is a big plus. Image quality and sharpness will be somewhat reduced when the images are compared to the bare 200-600 G lens. <\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><center>ngg_shortcode_1_placeholder<\/center><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<h2><strong>a9 iii E-mail Set-up and Info Guide<strong<\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<h3>a9 iii E-mail Set-up and Info Guide<\/h3>\n<p>For those who think that my comments on the a9 iii are pure hype, know that I sold the second of my three a1 bodies this morning.
