Air to Air.
January 10, 2008Here are a few of my fave. plane photos from the last year.
Almost done folks... just hold on.
Actually, I've already posted three of my faves. on my blog before.
You can go back and check them out. It was a lot of fun.
The other one that really stands out to me was back in June.

Old Iowa Park Road stretches into the distance beneath Brian Kissinger as he pilots a restored 1942 L4 Piper Cub over Wichita County Tuesday afternoon. Kissinger stopped at Wichita Valley Airport on a cross-country trip to raise at least $100,000 for brain tumor and cancer research. In 2003, Kissinger, 39, was an Air Force pilot stationed at Scott Air Base when he was
diagnosed with a stage II oligodendroglioma brain tumor the size of a baseball.
Just so's you know... air-to-air photography isn't easy. I have a great deal of respect for the professionals who shoot promo shots of other planes for a living.
It was one of the hardest things I've done in a while... mainly because I wasn't really in control. I gestured to the pilot sitting behind me where i wanted to be in relation to the other plane... but it was he who had to fly me there.
And it's not like I was in a Leerjet or anything... I was flying alongside in another 1942 Piper Cub. Not quite a passenger jet to say the least. But holy moly it was a freaking blast.

I love photos and I love the views from flying (when I get to). So photos from flying really touch a special place inside me. My brother works as a medic on an off shore drilling rig. He flies to the rig on a helicopter and the photos he has will take your breath away.
