Yeap, that’s a massive hole in the side of the plane Jake is shooting out. Wouldn’t you risk your camera to shoot out that window if you had that gorgeous Lake Tahoe blue below you?

The interior of the Albatross is massive permitting all sorts of movement about the cabin. The hole we’re shooting out is actually the top half of the doorway, a very large door because one of the principle roles of the Albatross is Search & Rescue. It has a draft of only 3 feet and in order to get the rubber boat in and out of the cabin and rescue folks, a large door was built. It works great for us, we could both shoot out of it without any problem.
Yeah, that’s a saftey harness you see Jake wearing. We wore those for about five minutes. We moved about the plane so much to shoot, we gave up on putting them on and off. Needless to say, I’m here to post which means I made it as well as Jake. And the cameras, they made it home too.
