I've been an aviation photographer/videographer for several years. I'd like to share some of my work with all of you to enjoy.

My friend Daniel Millican took this shot of me while shooting a new LSA coming to the market called the Colt.

Around a month ago, I had the opportunity to shoot three AH-64 Apache’s and a CH-47 Chinook Air ro Air. I was actually surprised that I got the permission to do it. It was such a blast!!!

Air to air shoot of a Commander 114. Kevin Lacy from the show Airpkabe Repo was my camera ship pilot. Steve Afeman was a huge help and flew the Commander in formation so I could get these shots.

What were you riding in when you took those photos? Looks like a lot of fun.
 
A few weeks ago I made a couple videos of the Spartan Executive at the Mid America Flight Museum in Mt Pleasant TX. We shot a flying video and a walkaround. Links are below

Just on YT a week ago watching the A-4 walk around. Very informative. Welcome to POA.
 
I documented the arrival of the final flight of this EA-6B at Dallas Love Field.

Thank so much! Sure glad you like my work!!
 
I've been following your YouTube channel for a long time. I think the T-Bone vid is where I found it
Oh cool! That T-Bone video is an older one. Travis Jay did a great job in that one. He really knows his stuff about those

Did you see my behind the scenes video of the T-Bone air to air shoot? Here it is.
 
Jack is a friend and I absolutely love his work. We’ve both wanted to work together but it just hasn’t happened yet. I’m really looking forward to when it does though.
True story... I was once hanging with Axl Rose. We went to a bar and he told them, “I’m an F’n rock star Baby and so is this guy!” I’m hoping Erik does the same for me because, he’s an F’n rockstar!

Holly cow man, that’s one of the coolest compliments I’ve ever gotten!!

We really need to collaborate on some projects!!
 
Here are my detailed photos of the Collings Foundation TP-40.
