Paine Field Aviation Day 2013

Had a great weekend photographing for Historic Flight Foundation at Paine Field's annual Aviation Day. While I've been extremely blessed/lucky to receive a lot of unreal opportunities from them over the years I got an especially sweet treat: a go at their Spitfire for a little air to air. It was a last minute substitution that I didn't even know about until I saw pulling into formation...I was thrilled:

Fun fact about the woman in the top right photo - she was a flight attendant for Air California, Hughes Airwest, Republic, and Northwest. She docented the museums DC3 through the day in full uniform and had all of her original flight badges to boot. It was sooo cool to chat with her.

and some additional shots:

Jeremy ..... Fantastic set especially the air-to-air!

Oh man, Air-to-Air with Warbirds, a few sacrifices. To get an airshow on the PAE grounds; Priceless! Nice going Jeremy ...

Great shots all around Jeremy, thanks for sharing them...

Superb work Jeremy. The air to air stuff is golden.

The Spitfire, Air-to-Air over the Paine runway is money! Awesome shots, Jeremy, thanks for sharing!

Thanks everyone!
