I'll post a few of mine




Turning final in Telluride, Colorado in a Cessna 172.


Over Ontonagon, Michigan with Lake Superior in the background.

Departing 6Y9 (Sidnaw, Michigan)

Coming out of Gastons in Arksansas

I really like the reflection of the clouds on the bottom of the wing

Lt. William H. "Bill" Bunn.  307th FS, 31st Fighter Group  Jun '44 to May '45.  Credited with one kill, a JU-88.  Got hits on a 262 and would probably have gotten a kill but his rudder hinge broke flipping him inverted at 400+ on the deck.  I met him at the Gathering of Mustangs in '07, someone needs to do his skin someday.



Gathering of Mustangs. This guy flew one heck of a show, don't remember his name.  I don't think he ever got above 500'.



Jets are for kids:



The AT-6 is at the top of my list for favorite airplanes I've flown.  It just might rank above the Mustang.

Golfer,

I remember about half a year ago you posted a picture that someone took of you on the short final. It was a good picture and I can't find it, can you post it again?

Thanks

There are a few and they're all basically the same.  Caught the resident Philly airplane photo geek taking pictures earlier this year. Turned out he caught me.  Was it this one?

I took all of these except for the T-37 over the Florida Keys.


F-22 on takeoff


T-37s over the Florida Keys


F-15E over Saudi back in 1997


Wayne Handley's Raven, shot on slide film back in 1997-1998 a year or so before his crash that ended his airshow career.  I flew an F-15E to that airshow and after meeting Wayne during the performer's reception, hung out with him and his crew all weekend.


Aegis cruiser flyby.  Turns out that even though we can participate in a 100 aircraft mission package and put 4 fighters on each wing of a tanker while another plane refuels, it's against some air force regulation to have a formation of 5 fighters without majcom DO permission.  Oops.  At least the Navy appreciated it since they got both a neat flyby and a 6-ship raid tracking exercise out of it.  At least we kept it at or above 500'...

I have more but these will have to do.

It's actually yours trully, UPS Denver ramp ... night ... snowing ... frost.
I like it compared to all the nice cutty cuty plane shots because it represents the average guy tring to make a living far from the airline glamour.
