DANGER - HIGH VOLTAGE

Best of both worlds Scott, these aircraft really seem to come alive under the dark storm clouds, plus the beauty of the Monsoon. Wonderful catch!

Thank you Harvey!

Gannet detail - Here's a shot that was influenced and inspired by Jeff's superb night photo of the same aircraft posted a few months ago.

Ooooh.....  Neat shot Scott.  The dark clouds as a backdrop make for an interesting photo of the Gannet.

Nice ones, Scott.  You always make it out for the right weather!

Thanks John. Tucson has always been my favorite destination this time of year. Much more predictable thunderstorm activity than Phoenix and great places to hang out to experience them.  Some of my earliest pictures were taken in Tucson this time of year.  Photos asides, I just like being in that environment.  The cool air coming out of the storms, the dark sky, the smell of wet chaparral, distant (hopefully) thunder, and of course all of the mothballed aircraft at DM and the outlying yards.

The Douglas A-24 is moving along:
