Air2Air has an awesum staff! Our safety officer, 2nd seat in the photo ship, amazing pilot and instructor Doug Rosezdal saw the light on the horizon and headed us in that direction. In the back of the skyvan, you can see where you’ve been and that’s all. Doug though up front and in the 2nd seat see’s it all and being great as what he does, it makes it all work!

By the time we took to the air, the last downpour that had past overhead was now out to the east. We were able catch up to it and play a little in the clouds. Wow!

This is were the skill of our pilots really plays a pivotal roll in our success. They are the ones putting us in the right place at the right time and all we have to do (making it sound simple) is go click. There is actually more to it all away around with your having the easiest part, simply enjoying the fruits of our labor.

The best part, these are the ~worst~ of my images from this shoot. Yeah, the morning just kept getting better and better. I’ve always said that the worst weather can produce the best images and while you really don’t want bad weather shooting air to air or even flying for that matter, the photo gods smiled on us this morning. mtc!
