I wasn't sure where can I post this... In case of me breaking rules - please forgive me and move topic to different "department" :)

After looonggg weeeeek.... with Geico Skytypers at Florida, after taking and processing over 10k pictures....

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings......." Pilot Officer Gillespie Magee

Geico Sktypers, Living the Drteam ! Set first: In the sky....

Set second: "The Team" should be out soon :) Third set will be out in few days :)

Geico Skytyers asked me for to help them with big photo project... and I did... results are bellow... actually just a little paert of results is here, There is many pictures I canlt show :) But I also have a tons of pictures to show you guys.....

Part One is called In The Sky, and as you can guess it is air to air session. It was few sessions to be exact. Plan was simply we take Bonanza and we go for few photo missions, Unfortunately Bonanza wasn't available and we used one of the SNJ's Skytypers planes. Some of you have air to air experience and know how difficult is to operate camera and "setup planes to "pose", flying SNJ it was pretty much impossible thats why I concentrate on taking pictures of single aircrafts instead of formation of only 5 planes... We stayed in formation, sometimes lying from left to to right wing looking for better angles as much as possible, Safety First, SNJ-2 is not a small plane... I hope guys will have Bonanza scheduled soon and we will be able to finish our photyo mission and take good shots of delta formation

Full Set 58 pictures:

Chris..............simply beautiful! Great job considering the difficults that you faced. I really like the second and 13th shots in the series and the post processing you did. I think it's an understatement, but you must have been thrilled to have an experience such as this!!!
