Air to air photography is a favorite subject of mine and this was a great photo shoot of Mike McCann flying his classic 1933 Stinson JR. SR through the Kenai Mountains, Alaska in mid October. Thanks to Mark Munro and Mike Neese for making this photo shoot possible. Below area few more images of the Stinson from this flight.
After first hearing about the Alaska Airmen’s aviation trade show last year I looked forward to attending this spring. Last month I attended, photographed, and had a booth at the show. With such a concentration of aviation types and businesses, it was a good opportunity for me to get to know the aviation market for photography in Alaska a little better.
The event is all about aviation with lots of airplanes on display ranging from historical and modern military aircraft, helicopters, cargo jets, sea planes, experimental bush planes, and private jets. 
Along with the airplanes is a hangar full of manufacturers and dealers of aviation supplies displaying their wares. As a bit of an aviation nut myself I really enjoyed the weekend there in the hangar chatting with other flying enthusiasts and oogling over all the fancy toys that make my cameras look cheap for a change!
A highlight of the show was hearing Dick Rutan tell the story of his non-stop flight around the world in Voyager I, an aircaft designed by his brother Burt Rutan.
A few photos from the weekend:
