PLASTIC HAIR


During our recent rally in New York city, one particular bystander really caught my attention (how could you NOT see her?). Now, I sometimes have a hard time sleeping with almost NO hair, but how does one go about sleeping with PLASTIC hair? Yes, when the breeze blew, you could hear her "hair" clicking. And I thought I'd seen everything................;-)

WALL STREET MARCH!!!!


Yesterday I was in downtown New York City, with all my fellow pilots as we marched on WALL STREET. 750+ pilots gathered for the rally. Here's a group photo I took with the majority of the pilots in it. It was indeed a sight!

ADRIANA AND I GO FLYING


I recently started teaching my girlfriend's 16 year old daughter Adriana, how to fly. She has around 14 hours or so and is doing really well. Her goal is to become an airline pilot, so that's the goal we're working towards. Today she did a perfect takeoff, landing and "slip" all by herself. Nice job Adri!!!!!

LOBSTER CLOUD


Yesterday when I was at the beach, I looked up and saw a "lobster" cloud....at least a cloud that LOOKED like a lobster. I grabbed my camera and this was the shot I got. What do you think?

USA TODAY NEWSPAPER PHOTO


Just got back from flying another trip and had the pleasure of seeing another one of my weather photos in the USA TODAY newspaper! This makes 14 of my photos in the paper in the past year! The editor has told me another might be published in a couple of weeks. The neat thing about this most recent shot was that it baffled the EXPERTS as they had never seen an "upside down mammatus" cloud before!!!! At any rate, here's the photo they used!

SUNSCREEN OR CLOWN?


I usually try to find interesting things at the beach to photograph.........but every once in a while I find something that REALLY catches my eye. Putting sunscreen on isn't a big deal and shouldn't catch someones attention, but this guy was "overdoing" it by just a tiny bit! What's so amazing is that he actually walked around looking like a partially made up clown..........and his wife didn't seem to even notice!!!! You just gotta love the beach!!! ;-)
