Countless pilots got their start washing airplanes in exchange for flight time. When Ben Cook began his flight training, he had something better to trade: home brewed beer.
The Mid-Atlantic Air Museum hosted its 28th WWII Weekend earlier this month. While crewing the Commemorative Air Force TBM Avenger, Doris Mae, I was able to get some shots of the reenactors and aircraft performing.
Two weeks ago I attended the Jacqueline Cochran Air Show in Thermal, California. If you’ve never been to Thermal, the name is a giveaway: it’s hot. Really hot.
Last month I had the chance to shoot TBM Avenger Doris Mae during a night run. The Commemorative Air Force Capital Wing — which operates the plane — arranged the photo op while the Arsenal of Democracy was on the field at Culpeper Regional Airport. Big thanks to them for the effort they put into this.
