ATSI TA-4J Departing...






TC-12B from VT-35 "Stingrays" Corpus Christi, Texas

[Joe Copalman]

Well worth the trip, in spite of being teased by the NASA stuff.  That second Skyhawk shot is the one I've been waiting for for years.  Perfect!

And that's awesome that the TC-12 (T-44s are King Air 90s) rotated where it did.  They typically taxi AAAAAALL the way down and give nothing but belly shots.

Thanks for the clarification on the King Air .. Fixed It!

VMFAT-101 Sharpshooters F/A-18D from much earlier in 2010:

"Evening Arrival"

[Jay Beckman]

Mr. Clay Lacy strolls across the ramp at Willie to his specially modified Learjet before launching to shoot factory-fresh Bombardier jets.  This was the same project that saw Paul Bowen in town with Foto Fanny as well.

Osprey w/o squadron markings departing Willie this afternoon on a delivery flight.  I dig the V-22, but it's next to impossible to get a balanced-looking shot of one.
