Coming in on a bomb run, the TBM Avenger is jumped by a Zero but before it can do damage, the Corsair comes in and makes its fatal shot. Yes, I have a very active imagination and when it comes to telling the visual story, it really helps. Also working with my good friends the Texas Flying Legends Museum who brought history to life before my camera! Shot 11k images yesterday working on a project that was filmed by the Kelby crew. Lots more to come but wanted to share at least one photo to tease to keep checking in. Shot with a D4 (thx Borrowlenses.com) and 80-400VR3.

No, this is not a great photo, not even good but it’s one I will always treasure. That’s because behind that TFLM Corsair is Houston Control. Being a kid who remembers where he was when Apollo 11 landed on the moon, having it in the background is darn cool! In TX shooting and having a great time. Home to get more posted. mtc…

Just in time for next week’s huge airshow, Wings of Houston, B&H just posted my Ten Tips for Aviation Photography. We’ll be at the W0H and will have the Kelby Training film crew as we shoot the much requested, Air to Air “Class.” Now Class is in ” ” because it’s not like ANY class KT has ever produced. I’m super psyched! Hope to see you at WoH!

Herb Stachler is a WWII vet, flying the “Jug” in the European Theater. He was your classic P-47 pilot, short in height but a giant in duty and honor. I first meet Herb a year ago when we did a flight with him and his brother at the Doolittle Reunion in OH. The Texas Flying Legends Museum honors our vets by putting them back in the air as a simple thanks for their service. That’s Herb in the back of the P-51D Mustang. I was shooting out the side window of the B-25 “Panchito” giving Casey, the P-51 pilot hand signals for moving for the shot. Herb thought I was waving at him so he we constantly waving back with that giant smile. This past July, I had the great fortune to be with Herb a little more at Oshkosh, that’s him in the center with the mic sharing with the audience stories of his flying during WWII. Herb was an amazing guy, sadly, he past away this morning. Our prayers are with his family and wish him the best, gone west.
