North American B-25J Mitchell Maid in the Shade N125AZ at the Copperstate Fly-in on Saturday, October 23, 2010. It flew for the Army Air Force as 43-35972.


I have two pages of photos from the Fly-in on display at Air-and-Space.com: http://air-and-space.com/20101023%20Copperstate%20page%202.htm

Both light and a strong crosswind conspired to make this shot diverge from the way I saw it in my head.

"MITS" heading back to the barn after flying for the video production helo at Falcon on 11/13:

Beautiful shot Jay. 

Any idea what that film helo was all about?  They had a crew at the approach end of 22L, just a few feet off where the asphalt begins.  I would LOVE to shoot from there.

Not entirely reliable intel, but we heard that the production was generated by HQ in Midland for promotional purposes but that the wings would receive footage of their aircraft to use in promotional ways as well.

From talking to one of the videographers: local production companies are also shooting to suppliment what is being shot specifically for HQ.  There's some righteous dinero behind the project.  At breakfast on Sunday, we were speculating that that helo + gyro rig probably went for somewhere north of $2K/Hr to operate.
