Yeap, all this gear had to go in the back of that little plane. Just getting the gear pared down in the first place was a challenge!
We got it all in, as well as a Moose and three CFIs!

Yeap, I’m in Wichita with my best bud and long time shooting partner Kevin. While this is not my first time to go to work with him, I always leave thinking if was my last. Why? I’m on my best behavior except for that sign, “No Cameras.” Damn if that doesn’t always get me in trouble! So, I’ll be at “work” for the day other then taking a quick flight down to OK for lunch. Then back for a repack (stripping down my gear weight from 132lbs to 70) so we can load up in the Cessna 206 Thursday to Oshkosk. Yeap, for those counting, it will be a week of aviation and aviation people oriented blogs. This is a whole new experience for me and will be playing it out here blow by blow as it unfolds. The photo here is from yesterday mornings breakfast at Stearman Field. This is a student pilot who was doing touch and go’s to get his ticket. We were roused from our meal by a L-39 doing strafing runs. We got out and got our cameras (leaving some damn fine coffee) only to catch the tail end of his last run. I plan to do better this week. Stay tuned, mayhem to follow!
