OA-1 Skyraider two crashed looks like it took out some street signs along the way. Both crew okay. So much for the new plane smell. #aviationlovers #aviation #avgeek

Brand new ORANG F-15EX over Mt Hood. What a contrast to the last F-15C I posted. I didnt get to do a lot of avgeek photos this year but was happy to see this airplane in flight. #photography #aviation #sunset

A few years ago I photographed the Corsair from the back of an A-24 Banshee. The A-24 was the Army version of the Dauntless SBD. #photography #aviation #history #navalaviation #nikon

Stopped by to visit one of my top 3 favorite P-51 Mustangs. This warbird was getting ready to perform at the Abbotsford Airshow. #aviationphotography #avgeek #mustang #photography. My other fave mustangs ate Lope's Hope and Thunderbird in no particular order. Need to get air to air with this one.

It's almost time for the Abbotsford airshow. One of my favorite places for a twilight airshow. #aviation #photography #avgeek
