phentop,
you can join guys in the MA, most will accept, BUT ASK IN TXT BEFORE YOU SEND THE JOIN REQUEST.
also, a better alternative is to watch a lot of aces films. you can slow down, freeze, use outside views and check the instruments with the film viewer.
for a good film archive, check AKnimitz's site:
