- This page will take a few moments to load, as the pictures are in medium
resolution. Pictures are taken with a variety of cameras including a Sony
Analog Handicam Camcorder
mounted in Engine 3324 & digital cameras from other vehicles/personnel. The 8mm analog film
from the engine is then processed through a computer and
still shots are obtained using VideoWave (Analog) software. Picture quality is
affected by windshield glare, long play resolution, etc.)
