F-15 Driver captured by Z 9 / 180-400VRSpent a great weekend with my dear friend Chris at the Barksdale AFB airshow. A great airshow featuring our modern military also had many performers who puff smoke. Smoke is used to help those who don't fly a sense of the flight...

Kermit Week's A-26B Invader 12.27.12 captured by D4 / 24-70f2.8I was working on another project at AeroTrader, Chino, CA airport the same time doing some shooting with Kermit & Paul at Fantasy of Flight, FL. This back in 2010-12. Kermit asked since I was in the...

Super Cub captured by D4s / 80-400VR2The office phone rang this morning, the iPhone dutifully telling Sharon it was Spam. The I.D. said the call was coming from Helena, our state capitol. Sharon answered it and on the other end was the MT DOT Aeronautics Board telling...

PA-17 Vagabond in the pattern captured by Z 9 / 180-400VRWe plan our arrival for about an hour before sunset. There are always planes in the pattern so once we're on the field, we park behind the hangar and the camera comes out. I couldn't get the Z 9 / 180-400VR out...

Luscombe T8F captured by D5 / 14-24f2.8 w/SB-5000We can bring "life" to our aircraft by visually speaking about those that take them into the skies. Even if there is no pilot, where pilot's apply their skills, the cockpit, is a place most everyone understands is where...

Staggering D17S coming for a landing captured by Z 9 / 180-400VRThe annual Staggerwing Club meeting was a go again after the forced couple of years hiatus. It was going to be a giant event, that's until the weather decided to get involved. The same weekend that saw...

Cessna 140 captured by D4s / 80-400VRIINo, not sexy, not a warbird but photographing your very basic GA aircraft is nothing but great! You can learn so much, do so much and grow your portfolio so much by working with what some think as the lonely aircraft. Put your...
