Preview of the weekend ahead. Media day was today and it will take a week to wipe the smile from my face after today. First a few GA types...

Throw in a few warbirds, aerobatic types and a local celebrity, Fritz Coleman.

Sounds like a pretty effin' cool day, right? Yep, it was. But wait, there's more. Media flights! I got to pick what I wanted to fly in. There was a Cirrus (NICE!), a couple of RVs, CJ, Navion, C-53 or B-25. Oh the choices! Which would YOU choose? My cousin was on the Doolittle Raid, so my choice was obvious. And we got buzzed by an aggressor F-18! 8)

Thanks guys! It's going to be a long weekend of shooting for me, so there is definitely more to come. 8)

Day one was hot and sunny, but very fun. Here are a few quick edits before bed. I have another full day of shooting tomorrow.

 

[evangilder]

Recognize this one, Joe?

 

[FLYBOYJ]

GREAT SHOT!!!!

I love the one with the japanese pilot next to the zero.

 

[evangilder]

The funny thing is that the guy dressed as the pilot is actually the crew chief for that airplane.

Joe, when I saw him land, I lifted the lens and said "Oh my gosh, it's fireball!". The guys with me all said "Fireball, where?". That took some explaining.
