Been around a lot of helicopters, but never Blackhawks.
I'm always causing trouble... taking great images and getting paid at the same time... I'm trying to upload some really cool photos, but the darn website is FARTING again... You gotta see some of these, you'll crack-up...
The back story is:
I was asked to shoot some aerial shots of a few Army National Guard helicopters flying in formation under / over & around the Golden Gate Bridge as well as some mocked-up rescue missions from a lake and the top of Mount Shasta...
They asked if I could do it last weekend, but I told them I was driving my little Crossfire at California Motor Speedway on Sunday and could not do it till Monday. They decided to fly me up to SF Monday afternoon and said that I they would provide me with a NOMEX (flight suit) while I was flying in the Blackhawk. I said, don't worry, I have my own fire suit...
Thus, the comedy of this job... I wore my Crossfire driving suit with the BIG Chrysler logo on the back... There are some really funny photos of me in my red & black driving suit next to the pilots in their Army green flight suits...
You had to be there...
I'll post the pics as soon as the website allows me...
