No advice on your PS, Kermit. I have a lowly Priivate with a mere 289 hours. 
And those from 27 years ago. :-)

Very interesting info re Airbus and Boeing strobes. I live near the San Diego 
N-S flight paths; It will be fun to be able distinguish between the birds.

certainly because it is (much) better and reliable to shoot 5 sights of each

Airbus and Boeing are -1- They do not spell the same, and -2- the Boeing 
strobe lights are "single flashing" while the Airbus ones are 
"double-flashing" which enables you to easily single out them in the dark, 
and -3- for having flown both, I have to say that Boeing A/C are (much) more 
Pilot friendly, while Airbus are (definitely) more complex on a Pilot 
standpoint. Any other advice here ?
