I've spent a fair bit on time on the flight line with camera in hand. You don't need a fancy camera or special lens for the flight line Nate. Any decent P&S or a good phone will suffice - which you already have both. They aren't going to let you get near a plane or take any pics of inside the cockpit. Handles will be hot, so no touchy! Pay the fvck attention to everything they tell you to do; shut the fvck up and don't even think about touching anything. Those are the rules and they WILL ass blast you straight into Gitmo if you screw up. Have fun cuz' getting on the FL is a once-in-a-lifetime treat.
