SOME FROM THE OFFICE WINDOW

Post by AVIATOR » Fri Jun 19, 2009 5:31 pm

Hello all,

Well my spare time is normally spent doing my favourite past time - Flying combined with photography. I have been fortunate in the past to fly with Air Forces all over the world of in all types of aircraft from fast jets to helicopters and even the Red Arrows.

I thought I would share a few from some opportunities ive had....

A self portrait first!!! :damnfunny

You are a star Andy, fantastic photos, especially as they are very close to home.

You said Flying combined with photography, are you a pilot yourself?

Very nice indeed, thanks for sharing.

Here is a recent aviation pic of mine taken at the fly past at the Indy Grand Prix of Long Beach in April. Sorry can't remember the type of aircraft, I know that it was built near Long Beach. Lockheed C something? :oops:

Awesome photos! Very impressed. I had my first flying lesson a few months ago, and these photos inspire me to start thinking about getting organised to do some more..... although I will never fly anything like any of them, or take any photos like them!

Very impressive.

Is the photography your living or do you have a dayjob?
