"Air Bender" 2024
Capt. Melanie Kluesner bends the air as she demonstrates the high speed capabilities of the F-35A Lightning II at the Owensboro Air Show. If you look closely, you can see the displacement wave or "shock wave" as she nears subsonic speed.

"Raptor Burn" 2023

This was taken during the twilight show on Saturday at Oshkosh. I was hot, tired, and had already put the gear up and headed back to our camper to clean up when Razz took off.
What ensued was probably the best demo I have ever seen.
I was off the field, but was able to capture some very unique shots. This one was taken as Razz set up behind the crowd and re-entered the box for a full burner dedication pass...just as the sun was descending below the horizon behind him.
Truly an experience I will never forget...."burned" in my mind forever!

Happy New Year!!
While last year was a bit if a tough year in which we lost good friends and colleagues, I wanted to follow up with some great moments that were captured. I will start with some aviation photography.
Best to all of you in this new year!
