Okay....I have to post just one more:

Dozer, sitting in his jet, watching the act underway before his turn came...

I hope you all enjoy!



And Kevin, you're killing me!! Wow! That Super Bug shot still makes me drool....

Another fav...

One of the smallest shows I attended this year was in St. Pete but there was great lighting and access, so it was a lot of fun.

Osprey takeoff at 1/30th


I want to fly this plane! A De Havilland Chipmunk owned by Jim "Fang" Maroney.


Jim LeRoy mows the lawn with Bloke in the background catching the video.

Haven't done many shows last year but these two made my day despite the crappy weather.

Fat Albert mowing some grass at Leeuwarden AB show in June 06.

Shot at 1/125 with the 400mm F4.0.

IT was hard to choose my favorite, but it turned out to come from one of the first shows I shot this year - a little one in Manitowoc, WI.

This is John Mohr's "Harried Pass".  I've probably worked this shot up a dozen times, trying to get it "just right"...
(still not quite as I'd like it, but... )

Like this shot from Oceana 06'

Well, I do have a single favorite. This one was on the cover of Ultraflight Magazine - I have covers every few months as the Chief of Photography. This photograph was taken at the Salton Sea (California) during a powered paraglider / powered parachute event. (coming again in February this year).

Nice shot, Gar, that three-dimensional layering effect really makes this photo stand out!   

Richard.

Richard,
           Thank you.
