Hi All,

I have finally posted my Geneseo pics. Go ahead. Razz me all that you want. “Good thing he isn’t running a railroad!” “Maybe we should buy him a calendar?” “Which month is this?” Lay it on me!!! ;-)

Anyway as I said the pics are posted. You can find them all at…
http://community.webshots.com/album/551945471ALgoOy
…and you can find the links to my airshow albums at…
http://www.aerialvisuals.ca/Albums.html

I am still missing some airframe ID information. Perhaps someone here has some info to share? Here are my gaps…

#1: The Huey is either UH-1D-BF 66-16373, UH-1H-BF 68-6373 or UH-1H-BF 70-16373. Who can tell me if this is a D or H model?

#2: There were two PT-23s at the show and one was N62476 “22962”. What was the other one?

#3: There were two Sea Bees at the show and one was N6386K. What was the other one?

Regards,

Mike

P.S. Here are a few teasers in case you don’t have time to look through the Webshots album right now…

How many flyable "Iron Annie" survivors are there? I seem to remember reading about Martin Caidin's exploits in her in one of his books (name escapes me right now).

Great prop blur on some of those! What shutter speed were you using?

Hi Fritz!!! Did you have a good trip back from Thunder? Glad you found WIX. Send me an email to make sure I get you in my list of contacts. mrhenniger@AerialVisuals.ca

As for the shutter speed I think I was down to 1/60th on that one. I took many shots, and I am not showing you the ones that didn't turn out. ;-) Most of my taxy shots were 1/60 or 1/120. Take off and fly-by shots were around 1/400 since they are picking up the speeds at that point and it is almost impossible to prevent camera shake or stay panned at the slower speeds and still get a decent shot even with multiple tries.

A buddy of mine who is a professional photographer went to his first airshow this year in Ottawa. He found it to be a completely different game. He was shooting digital and indicated to me if you can get 5% to 10% decent shots you are doing well. I now seem to be on par with that, but it took attending a few airshows to get there.

Mike

Great shots Mike. That prop blur is excellent. No shot of me in the DC-3 eh?

Thanks again everyone.

Nope. I think they were too blurry to even keep. The lighting was not great. The one inside the cabin was marginal at best.

Hi Mike,

nice pics. Especially the one of the TBM on take off! Of course I'm partial.

#2: There were two PT-23s at the show and one was N62476 “22962”. What was the other one?

Hi Mike,

I saw the picture of Mel Glick's PT-23 (N62476), but did I miss the photo of the other one?

I might be able to help you ID it if you can email me a pic of the second one.

I love the shot of the Ju52 with sun reflecting off of the prop arcs!

Steve :wink:

The other PT-23 was Harland Avezzie's of Westfield, Ma, N73HA
It is a Howard built PT-23.
