Yeah, Merv, we saw WWII barracks at both Fort Ord and Camp Roberts (on the way up). They are neat places. I would love to go nuts with a camera at Camp Roberts.
I spent Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Palm Springs Air Museum for the annual T-34 gathering. Winds created the usual turbulence for all three days, but it still went well. Saturday afternoon flying was scrubbed after airliners reported gusts at 40-70 with heavy wind shear at both ends of the runway. I was disappointed that we didn't fly, but I wasn't disappointed to not fly in that! Sunday morning was much better, but the winds picked up again for our afternoon flight, an 8 ship formation pass with departures after the pass. Once we cleared the Banning Pass, it was smooth to about the Ventura County line where once again, we got the crap kicked out of us in turbulence. I felt about 2 inches shorter from spine compression when we landed. It was one of my most challenging shoots I have done, but I'd do it again. I have about 3 hours of video in addition to about 1400 photos to go through, but here are a few quick samples.
