My photography will be in my 2nd show of the year so far at the Artists Council “Through The Lens” show at the Artists Center at the Galen in Palm Desert. It is a wonderful venue previously the East Valley location of the Palm Springs Art Museum. A departure from my past photography, this is very unique. The opening reception is March 14th at 4-6PM. Thanks!
Just one of those times I was flying in the backseat of a P-51 Mustang at the Salton Sea and happened to end up next to a B-29 Superfortress. Lucky for me I had a camera.
The long-awaited “Masters Of The Air” miniseries is released on Apple TV! It depicts the Airmen of the Eighth Air Force and the 100th Bomb Group flying B-17’s at Thorpe Abbotts England during World War II.
Here is some of my GoPro video flying in a B-17 Flying Fortress as it lands at the airport in Palm Springs California. Turn your sound up and watch for the ground shadow!
This is not clear to me. If I drive at 5MPH do I get a beer? How long do I drive at 5MPH? If I drive at 10MPH do I get two beers? And do I get an IPA? Or just some watery lite beer? I need help with this one because I go past this place every now and then.
Numerous Sunspots today. The larger areas are approximately 900 million square kilometers in size. By comparison the Earth measures 516 million square kilometers. Palm Springs California

Very windy this morning but mostly over by 10am. Time-lapse makes it look very busy. Watch for a few airliners streaking through the sky. 01-11-2024 Palm Springs California
This is a good view of the airport in Thermal from flying Saturday. It is actually Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport. It is being considered for the new location for the Reno Air Races. 01-06-2024 Thermal California
Flying out of the airport in Thermal takes you over the BMW Performance Center where people can drive high performance BMW’s on these two tracks. The circular track is highly polished concrete which can be sprayed with water. The cars easily hydroplane and spin. I have done it and it is almost as much fun as flying. 01-06-2024 Thermal California
Flying around the Salton Sea… One of eleven power stations of the Imperial Valley Geothermal Project. The area is the second largest Geothermal field in the United States. Lithium extraction and Geothermal power are expected to provide the financial resources to restore the Salton Sea and huge economic benefits to the region. 01-06-2024
It was a beautiful day to be flying around the Salton Sea. Perfectly clear and warm out, and the Sea was very blue.
However being familiar with the Sea since 2003, I can see the changes. The small lake, just one year ago, was an outlet to the Salton Sea. In prior years at the height of the popularity of the Sea, it had a busy boat ramp and even a fishing supply and bait shop. The shrinking of the Salton Sea continues at an alarming rate and poses a significant ecological disaster. 01-06-2024
Keeping up my interest in aviation, this was a design I thought was good for a future flight suit for women. Model Kajira saying what one might expect “Is This What You Wanted To See?” From our photoshoot.
