About me

I grew up near a SAC base in NH and always enjoyed driving out to watch the FB-111's work the pattern. As I got older I would visit air shows around New England. In High school a motorcycle accident kept me from joining any service so visiting this air shows was as close as I was going to get.

A few years ago I dove into Digital photography and have had a blast. Between learning techniques on forums or from friends I've had a blast taking pictures of air planes. I've been lucky with some of my base visits and Air to Air flights.

I would like to thank all the Men and Women who fight for our freedom everyday.
