Out of curiosity, has anyone 'recently' attempted a
badge flight using a camera or ground observers ?
Did it get accepted by SSA without added hassle ?

I guess a digital camera is completely out of the question
!

That's hard to do without the camera or logger.

Hard but not impossible. Back in the 'olden days,'
you were allowed to
use observers. On more than one occasion my father
radioed the FBO at
a local turnpoint and got him to come out and 'observe'
him (5,000
feet above!) as he crossed the airport. Then my dad
would send the guy
a letter with a pre-filled form to sign and a stamped,
self-addressed
envelope, and receive it a week later. OK, it was
kludgy but it was
possible.
