Hi all

Been a very long time since I've been round these parts, hope everyone is doing well

Some of you may know that I embarked on the dream of learning to fly back in 2019. Due to long periods of no flying due to lock-downs and the British weather, the journey has felt more like an endurance test. However, yesterday I somehow passed my ppl skills test, and can now call myself a pilot. A childhood dream realised!













Unfortunately photography has taken a back seat in the last 2 years, but I've managed to put together a calendar for my father for Xmas. Our dream was to fly together but unfortunately the progression of his illness this year has robbed us of that opportunity but I hope images such as this will still stir the emotions for him.







I'm hopeful now that I'm not studying so much, and if working life calms down a tad, I can some spend more time back online here

Take care

James

57-24...it's final! #2 UMHB beats the #1 ranked North Central University football team 57-24 in the NCAA Division III championship game at the Hall of Fame stadium in Canton, Ohio. (I don't know who ranks these teams) Coach Freidenberg had his team ready. They were the underdogs and the knowers of everything said it would be a low scoring game. The coach is phenomenal! He knows when to make changes to the game plan plus, and this is his biggest gift, he knows how to keep the team focused on winning, even when they are behind or in a challenging situation. BTW, these are fine Chrisitian students playing for UMHB. I had the pleasure of being the local newspaper sports photographer for all their home games (Yeah! It's all about me!😂😂 )

Since they couldn't afford to send me to Canton, OH I was on the sidelines for Texas high school girls basketball...

My goodness Douglas, those are some incredible images you posted. My favorites are 1, 3, 4 and 5. Just amazing work, some of these should be in textbooks, calendars and posters. Fantastic set of photos! Thanks for sharing.

Merry Christmas to you and your's.



Thank you, Jay for your kind compliment! Merry Christmas!

That Mandarin Duck is one of the most beautiful creatures I have ever seen Douglas!!!!

Conowingo can get slow if the temps get too mild. But these are tremendous!
Happy Holidays to you and family!

Thank you Dan! The eagle activities at Conowingo have been very slow. I will head back there one day next week.

This Mandarin duck has been in a park near Philly for a month. The speculation is that he was someone's pet and got released into the park. Apparently his wings are clipped. A lot of the birders I know pay their visit to this beauty. I might have seen them at a zoo when I was a kid in China, not sure. They are so beautiful that they don't even look real. God's handy work. At the park he hangs out with his wood duck girl friend. Here are some more of this beauty.

Merry Christmas!

Thank you all! In 2022, there will be 7 airshows that I can do in a day trip (up to 4 hours drive each way) that feature the BA or the TB. Only one of the shows will have the F-22 and one will have the F-35. I hope they don't get cancelled again due to this Wuhan virus.

My friends that went to ICAS said the atmosphere was very upbeat so we can hope, unless the "Xi" variant starts killing us all. Right now it sounds like people are asymptomatic or have the sniffles and a mild fever for a few days, maybe Fauci can pay his friends to beef it up a little prior to the 2022 mid terms.

What are the shows on your list Douglas? I'm going to do my best to buy you lunch at one of them!

Funny, I've had the most miserable cold, cough, for about six weeks and I've had every vaccine known to man/woman/whatever you identify as. Still left with an occasional cough that sounds like I have end stage something.

"Xi" variant, I love that Jim. BTW, "Xi" in Chinese is pronounced just like the letter C.

For next year I plan to go to the following locations, for one day each, not the whole weekend.

May 7, 8: McGuire AFB, NJ, Blue Angels

May 21, 22: Dover AFB, DE, Thunderbirds

May 25, Annapolis, MD, Naval Academy, Blue Angels

May 28, 29: Jones Beach, NY, Blue Angels and F-22

June 1, 12: Ocean City, MD, Thunderbirds

Aug 24: Atlantic City, Thunderbirds

Sept 10-11: New Windsor, NY, Thunderbirds

Sept. 17, 18: NAS Oceana, VA, Blue Angels

Sept. 17-18: Andrews AFB, Thunderbirds, F-35

All these locations are within 270 miles from where I live.


If I have the honor to meet you on the east coast, lunch will be on me

As the year is wrapping up, I went through the airshow pictures I took this year and wanted to share with you my favorites. I went to 4 shows and 2 rehearsals this year, a few less than usual because of COVID cancellations. I am sure they were already posted soon after each show but here is the compilation of the 10 I like the most. I had never shot airshows at 840mm focal length before this year. It was fun in some situations. I love both the Thunderbirds and the Blue Angels, but I must admit, I have

The "Warthog" for the MDNG used to be based at the Martin Marietta AP in Dundalk,MD. The tarmac(k) used to be loaded with them! But that was over 10 years ago! Glad the one you got is from there(MDNG wing)!
Happy shooting!
Dan

OH forgot to mention that these warriors use the "tank farm" at Aberdeen Proving Ground as target practice. There is a remote back road that if and when you know the tanks and planes are active, you can park and view. Off olde Rt 1 NW of Bel Air,MD
