My goal was to shoot Pima entirely in monochrome. The monsoon clouds that were over Tuscon last weekend couldn't have been better.

Our Sea Harrier FA.2 arrived yesterday.  It should fit in well with our Kestrel, GR.3, GR.5, AV-8C, and our TAV-8A.

Well done Taj...

I have been absent for way, way too long, and it's time to start making my way back to the fold.  With our trip to Dublin, Ireland coming up (just over 50 days now!), I have cut way back on my aviation photography (budget restrictions).  Rylan has done a lot over the years to support me with my aviation photography, and this year it has been my turn to support her in her dream of visiting Ireland.  I think it has been a more than fair compromise.

Anyway, we paid a visit to PASM this past Saturday.  I had made a call to people to join us down there, and it was great to see both Dave S. and Jack.

I mainly went down there to work on my The Art of War collection, but I did take some other photos too.
