Air-to-air At Sun n Fun 2009

What do you get when you fly a Pitts and a Husky together? A boatload of fun, that's what! When I was at Sun n Fun last week, I convinced Bill Finagin of Dent Air Ltd. and Aviat Aircraft President Stu Horn to take a Pitts S-2C and a Husky A-1C up for an air-to-air photo shoot over the Gulf of Mexico. The resulting photos are the product of the right light, setting, aircraft and, most importantly, people. I was fortunate enough to be sitting in the front cockpit of the Pitts with Bill Finagin as we rolled and hammered over the coast. Beautiful! Thanks Stu and Bill.

Sun n Fun 2009 Air-to-Air Photo Shoot

Flying in a Cessna 210 with Jim Koepnick and Bruce Moore, I got to experience first hand what it's like to take off into a beautiful sunset and photograph an airplane over the Gulf of Mexico. I'll be writing an article about the experience for Sport Aerobatics Magazine's June issue, so keep an eye out for it.
