It was great to meet a bunch of folks and put more names/photos to faces!
Thanks Joe for your coordination efforts and the invite!!
A huge thank you goes out to the wonderful folks at NAF El Centro, especially the commander and his staff, including Kris, all of whom generously take us under their wing for a day to allow this amazing experience to take place!

I can't go to sleep before I extend an extra big thank you to Kris and his team at NAFEC. Another terrific photocall is in the books and I had a blast. Another round of applause for Brother Joseph for all his work in coordinating this opportunity for AzAP and its members.
In this image, Kevin Whitehead (you owe me a back massage), Kris Haugh, Joe Copalman and a cadre of our fellow shooters practice their panning skills on the faithful C-2 Greyhound. Now I can get some sleep ;)

I think most of the red group guys wished the same thing, though it did balance out at the end of the day when they caught the slime-lights on that last hornet recovery.
Such solid shots from everyone. Mike, I especially like that portrait-oriented shot of the C-2 with the arresting cable i the foreground.

Let me echo Scott's sentiments. My distractions not withstanding, this is some of the best imagery I can recall seeing from an single El Centro photocall. When Bill Osmun gets around to posting his work, it will only get better ;) ;D
I am always amazed at how much photographic talent we have in the AzAP ranks. I feel privileged and blessed to associate with such wonderfully skilled photographers. Your work both challenges and encourages me. Thanks everyone.
BTW, Mr. Heising's photo above is another example of the excellent imagery this crew produces. I love the portrait crop and key elements being located in the high and low sectors.
No need for a tripod with this stable platform.
