Marion, Indiana fly-in last Saturday. Nice small town event - I loved this 1930 D-25 New Standard biplane "Ace". Only eight of these are still flying. Very cool for passenger rides. The clouds made for great photos.

2026 Grissom Air & Space Expo - Last post from last weeks air show. There were a number of beautiful aircraft on static display. The light was flat and uninteresting, which always points me towards black and white fine art style shots (Which by the way I really love especially when printed and hung on the walll.) Here are a few of my favorite shots, plus the P51D "Gunslinger." Heading up to Marion Indiana's annual fly-in this Saturday to "see what I can see" and eat some pancakes.

Grissom Air and Space Expo. A bit of an "Easter Egg;" even though I did not expect it the B29 "Doc" did take to the air for a couple of passes. There was a lot of heat haze, but I tried to catch it as it passed through the sun's ray to get a refelction off the wing.

Grissom Air & Space Expo - last set from the Thunderbird's performance last Saturday. A low (very) circular pass around the Grissom control tower. I Imagine, even though they had seen it in the practice sessions those in the tower had brown in thier shorts! The plane was at the same level as the tower controllers and pullin' some G's. (These photos was taken at 30 frames per second as a reference.)

2026 Grissom Air & Space Show - The Thunderbirds program is designed for visual excitment, and it does deliver! For a photograher the challenge is the speed and uncertainity of where the next great visual is going to be. There is an announcer, but he is for the crowd, not us poor photogs who are trying like hell to catch the action in focus and context at 500 mph. It's wonderful fun, and when you do manage to get a good clear shot it's a great feeling - kinda like that long putt you make only once in a while. That great shot is what brings us back . . .

2026 Grissom Air & Space Show. What a wonderful airshow and great facility. Went with my photo friend Dana and we had a good time. The facility was large enough to accommodate a B52, B29, KC135, C5M SuperGalixy (It was huge), DC3 and a bunch other beautiful aircraft. There were lots of people, and I really enjoyed the kids - many with a model airplane playing "pilot" (As many of us "old kids" were!) The headliners were the USAF Thunderbirds of course. When I was in the Air Force - long ago - I was stationed at their home base in Arizona and saw them training many times - but it's still a thrill to witness their precision formation and positional flying. Here are a few favorites from their performance. I posted a reel of one of their famous "passes" and pix #5 is an expanded photo of the one in the reel. More aircraft photos to come . . .

Lunar Eclipse - Aug 2026 When I was setting up for Thursday's Lunar Eclipse I opened my Sky Watcher app to determine where the moon would be located at it's maximum eclipse. This was the picture that greeted me on my phone with the Milk Way almost vertical in my night sky. Of course it would be impossible to photograph the Milky Way with a full moon, but if you could this is pretty much how it would look I think. (The moon is not to scale, but close). Considering it as I sat in the dark, I decided to make a composite that duplicated the real view as much as possible. Truly, a picture as "I saw it" in my mind. There is so much more in God's creation than we can see with our human eye.

Lunar Eclipse - 2026 It was a perfect night, clear sky, not to warm, not to cold and the bugs were sleeping! Most enjoyable time to watch God at work, and contemplate.
