Our next subject Sunday morning was this gorgeous T-6 Texan. This gorgeous plane is a polished, painted to match the original scheme for Falcon Field (where we’re based out of) during WWII when it was one of many training fields around the country. It’s owner and pilot Brian did an amazing job flying for us in the great conditions we had.

That great polished body is a two edge sword. When the light is working like it was this morning, with the light filtering through the clouds, shooting doesn’t get any better. When you light sucks, that gorgeous polished body reflects the yuck and you’re toast. If anything, we had marmalade on our toast this morning! I wish I could share with you all the magic but I just picked a couple of images and ran the poster action on them to create the posting.

As it turned out, it was a 2788 image morning and still, I’ve not got them all edited or processed. Can’t thank Brian enough for sharing his great plane with us.The one aspect of aviation that I really enjoy, the people! We finished again with our patented drag down the runway which was still wet from the earlier rain making for a killer flight! This was a magical addition to our photo mission.
