I am out of adjectives, adverbs, verbs and pronouns for your work Douglas. So when I say wonderful, beautiful, fantastic...those few words encompass all that I consider to give accolades to you. Your photography is top shelf!
To everyone else here on MA2A...this goes for all of you also!!! A fine "family" of photographers you be!!

Just got a call a few minutes ago regarding: Rob, what a shame. We are constantly reminded that this is a dangerous business, some get to push the envelope longe than others, but sooner or later......................
Inside info is that he was slipping to a landing and the aircraft stalled at low level. Sad end to a stellar career.
We all like to forget that, and things roll smoothly on, until a reminder pops up. For the people that fly on the ragged edge, Rob, Kirby, Kevin, all the skill in the world doesn't change the odds. This one, if the account is correct, is really tragic. Like my Buddy Charlie Hilliard, every accolade and title and his life ends on a roll out. Be careful out there boys and girls.
