This past weekend was our first K&M Air Adventure<\/a> and wow … it was great! We had a great group that looks like, the aviation bug bit really hard (3 already signing up for 2015 Air Adventures). Based out of our dear friends WWII hangar at Falcon Field, they had access to B-17G and DC-3 as well as other aircraft for static work. We had them out at 05:30 and we didn’t finish the day until 19:30 with barely breaks for food. All were new to aviation photography but not photography so it was great fun to watch their eyes get bigger and bigger and more and more great stuff was piled onto our adventure. That in large part is what makes aviation photography so exhilarating!<\/p>\n

Of course, it’s the flying that really gets the heart pumping and the cards full. Our last flight of the night is seen here as our hosts, the Churchills take off in the gorgeous AT-6 with student Chris in front and Kevin following behind. Then the subject aircraft, a F8F-1 (oldest flying Bearcat in the world) takes off behind them. We were on the ground shooting from the ramp, practicing our ground to air, panning techniques. I shot with the D4s<\/a> \/ 80-400<\/a> in Auto Area AF and let the camera do all the work while I just kept pace with the planes. The best part of the weekend is when each student climbs out of the aircraft after their flight. Rather, they kinda float out as they are still on cloud 9 with the thrill and excitement of air to air photography. It might have been long days, but it was a magical weekend in the air!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
