Re: [AAAD " tHe bOhEmIaNs"] Eclipse Flight

Ajay, how do you plan to overcome the problem of formation of ice crystals on
the windows, caused by the moisture gathered before take off and the subsequent
cabin pressure. I am not aware of 737-700 being equipped with any device to
prevent this.

Think of adding a black shroud around the camera to reduce reflections from the
window. Cabin lights will be dimmed at the time of totality, and no movement
will be allowed at that time.
