North American B-25J Mitchell "Maid in the Shade"

[Matt Ottosen]

Just beautiful Matt.  I'm jealous too!  We're you backseating in the SNJ? 

Thank you!  Yes, I was in the backseat of the SNJ.  Full flight controls back there, I was able to fly the SNJ out the the photo shoot location.

With a timely heads up that MitS was doing pattern work at Willie, I tried to get to FFZ to catch her landing.  To paraphrase Maxwell Smart, "I missed her landing... by that much."

Anyway, ended up catching her as she taxied back to the CAF's ramp.

Here's another one from my air-to-air shoot with Maid in the Shade.

We used our SNJ as the photo platform with the canopy open.  This was probably the hardest photo shoot I've ever done, but also the most fun!

As i think ive mentioned before, your air to air shots are all excellent, but your also one lucky SOB, hehe...

Awesome shot, Jay!!  I love seeing MitS flying!!

Thanks Matt...

I had a very nice chat with Spike while MitS was up doing her thing in rehersal.  I promised him I'd get a copy of this over to them at CAF.

[Matt Ottosen]

Spike is a great guy, I have given him copies of almost all my MitS photos.

Start em up!

Departing for the short flight to Prescott.  Maid in the Shade will be at Prescott until Sunday.  She's there with Sentimental Journey, the CAF's B-17G.  Her pilot, Spike, gave us a nice wing dip after lift-off, before turning north.
