Am hoping to do a flight around AMARG in September and am after some advice regarding lenses.
I have a Canon 7d mk2, a 100-400 mk2 lens and a Sigma 150-600 lens.
Shouldn't be a problem if sat in the front seat as can open the window, but, if sat in the back, would these lenses be physically too big to use?

Have you pre booked your flight already for September? I think you have to provide security details to your flight provider (Double Eagle?) quite a bit in advance now in order to be approved. Unless of course the situation has changed again, maybe someone has been recently and can update?

Which aircraft are you flying in? Had an air2air photoshoot from a TB9 some years ago and my Sony 200-600 was a bit bulky but usable in the back of the aircraft. In that particular aircraft I was more confortable in the back of the aircraft rather than in the front seat

I'd go for a 70-200 f2.8 personally, shooting a long lens through old perspex is never good, you'll have enough room for the 100-400 but I don't think you'll get sharp enough shots.

When I shot film many years back I used a 35-105 on one body for wide shots and a 75-300 on the other for closer in.

Thanks for the info, something to ponder on....
