Stacking Cans...

Time for another short video of our sweet Maci!  She normally loves to help us put the groceries away when we get home from the store but today she decided to try stacking some of the canned items.  She was so proud of herself when she was able to stack them together!

Alliance Airshow 2010

Alliance Airshow 2010, a set on Flickr.

It hasn't quite been a year yet...well almost, and I finally finished the photos from last year's Ft. Worth Alliance Airshow in October of 2010. This was a great show with the first performance of the F-22A Raptor in North Texas and I was able to come away with some great shots. Having media access as well I was able to get some really nice early morning and late evening photos with killer lighting! There are many photos in this set that are favorites of mine because the lighting was just perfect in many situations. Hopefully the upcoming airshow in 2011 will yield similar results! Enjoy...glad I finally got finished with these before the next Alliance show which is only 2 weeks away!

Here are the final photos from my San Diego trip of a short visit to Brown Field where several of the warbirds and military trainers were staging for the weekend. Unfortunately many of the aircraft were already gone when I arrived but I did get to see a few of them. Enjoy!

Miramar MCAS - Centennial of Naval Aviation

During our visit to San Diego for the Centennial of Naval Aviation I was privileged to go on base at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, California to photograph the launch and recovery of aircraft participating in a flyover of San Diego bay. Carrier Wing 11 and other tactical aircraft departed from Miramar for the flyover and we were allowed to stand in between the runways for an up close and personal view of the action. Over 70 tactical aircraft flew out of MCAS Miramar for the event! Needless to say it was a blast and one of my best memories yet as an aviation photographer! The flyover of Carrier Wing 11 in San Diego bay can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUELjAZMR0Y - CVW-11 was so large that we could see it at Miramar from over 15 miles away!
