Hearty congrats Dave and nice pics, could almost be forgiven for thinking the last one was taken over the Dover Straights.

Not pics by me, but a couple of pics that I'm in...
After the last airshow in 2011 I got the opportunity to act as the tail gunner for a WW1 photoshoot.

I thought I had uploaded these photos, but obviously didn't. There was a bit of an embargo on them while the photographer gave the opportunity to a couple of magazines to purchase the photos.

Excellent shots!

 

[Gnomey]

Dang it, me too!

 

[T Bolt]

Me three! That must have been a blast to be able to do something like that!

It was only a 20 minute sortie, and I was absolutely shattered afterwards.
It goves you a real appreciation for what the pilos and gunners went through in WW1.

The DV was flown by Kermit Weeks. So I guess I could say I got to shoot him down!

 

[vikingBerserker]

That is so fricken awesome!

 

[evangilder]

Great stuff, I have seen that photographer's work in the past, and he is a GREAT shooter.

 

[gumbyk]

Yeah, and he's a great guy to boot. He gave me a CD with all the photos from this shoot. He just asked that I didn't post them publicly until he'd had a chance to sell them to anyone who wanted them. Which is why I've just posted the ones he has made public. Don't want to annoy him and possibly miss out on more of this sort of stuff

OK, I was out at the aero club this afternoon, and took Devon out with me.

He got to log his first PIC time...

That's awesome! I remember taking my son to his first airshow at 4 months old. Gotta keep the interest up in aviation.
