Quarter Moon

A half moon is actually officially termed a “Quarter Moon”.


Flyover Dedication

Two T-6 Texan aircraft doing a flyover for the dedication of a United States Post Office honoring Tuskegee Airman Lt. Col. Robert Friend. Along with these aircraft I was in the Red Tail P-51 Mustang “Bunny” shooting photographs. “Bunny” is in the livery of the Colonel’s Mustang that he flew in World War II. The flyover from the Palm Springs Air Museum. The story of the day in the Orange County Register newspaper at this link… https://tinyurl.com/2p8cesfj

F-18’s Takeoff

Two F-18’s taking off out of Palm Springs California. iPhone video on a very hazy day. The iPhone is great because it is always with me. But the results are often not what I would consider professional. You might have noticed that the latest “Top Gun” movie was not shot on an iPhone.


Weather

Weather earlier this week here in Palm Springs.


Backyard Poolside

In my backyard poolside. I have had the opportunity to photograph many an amazing individual. My buddy Jessica Jacobsen.


The Weather Came In

This afternoon the weather came in and the weather went out. But all around us in Palm Springs there were thunderstorms, leaving behind flooding hours later.

Not A Cessna

So I was in my pool when I heard the sound of an approaching aircraft that obviously did not sound like a Cessna.

July 4 Weekend Flyovers

Flyovers for the July 4th weekend with the Palm Springs Air Museum. I went on one of them for the Independence Day celebration at Lake Arrowhead. On the return we flew over Big Bear Lake and Airport. For the other flyovers I ran the ground operations and shot some photos.

C-47 Among The Windmills

I really like this view. Coming into Palm Springs from the North, the Palm Springs Air Museum C-47. It takes a long lens shooting from our ramp at the Air Museum.

We had a really good looking visitor at the Palm Springs Air Museum today.
