Sorry I had to leave the WIX party before most of you arrived,
but I had to go do a photo shoot with Scott Slocum. Then we
had the Bombshell girls over for dinner and drinks.

I want one of them! My first ride in a military aircraft was in a Caribou in Jan/68. The thing sure made a lot of noise!

Good to meet you at Zack's, Doug. You weren't early--everyone else was late.

Also good to see you posting again. :wink:

I remember one time I was training a new lineguy, and we had to go over to fuel one of these that came in from Canada. I took him inside the airplane for him to take a look around and he thought he was being funny by blowing into a pee tube like a trumpet.,i said to him do you no what thats for, he looked at me and said, to talk to the pilot,so I told him ,bet you no what his face looked like :oops:

Digi-second: That brief period of time between putting your eye up to the camera and discovering 3 or 4 people have magically appeared in front of the aircraft you were about to photograph.

Murphy's Law of airshow photography: If there is one person standing in front of the plane you're trying to photograph, they are not allowed to move until someone else comes along to take their place.

I can really appreciate an individual who will leave a diner/party to go out into the beautiful evening to do air to air work on a great looking and unusual subject yet still have the stamina to take gorgeous photos of two young ladies who are most definately easy on the eye..how you must have suffered!! :shock: :roll:

Nice stuff, the airplane pix too! :wink: :wink:
