Jay, you might want to check the date and time on your camera. It's showing as shot in 2015

Here's a shot of a Falcon 2000 that I photographed on Monday at Fort Worth Meacham airport.
The only "bad" thing about daylight savings time is that it takes a LONG time for it to get dark, before you can shoot this type of photo. Didn't get to bed until around 12m or so. Too keyed up to just go straight to bed.
How are you and your Mavic Pro getting along? I'm anxious to get your impressions. I flew a five battery assignment yesterday morning and it went really well. That's roughly 100 minutes of flight because I have my P4Pro programmed to deliver a warning at 30% and I immediately bring it back to home and swap batteries. One learns something on every mission, this one was a bit windy, 10-15, and very noisy so I couldn't hear the drone. Didn't really think about it, but you use the drone noise as one of the ways to pinpoint location, that wasn't possible on this assignment. Had a brief adrenalin moment when my iPad Mini4 display was flickering and scrolling, probably rebar or laser interference. I had the drone about 10' in the air, hovering where four guys were doing finishing work. I was concentrating on the display and adjusting perspective as it delayed and flickered. When I glanced up to check on the drone all I saw was blue sky. My pilot discipline kicked in, amidst the panic, and several things raced through my mind, did it "fly away", did it quit for some reason and drop into a block of wet concrete? The display was there, but still flickering so I knew it was up. The temptation to move the gimbals was almost irresistible, but I had 8 whirling razor blades out there somewhere so I really didn't want to do that. Then I realized that I had come in low for this perspective and as a result the sky wasn't a background, the white CMI paving machine was, and with all of it's ladders and attachments the P4P blended in. I found it and smoothly panned back out and landed it at my feet. Post flight analysis reminded me that hitting the RTH button would have probably worked had I not spotted it, but I haven't tested that function thoroughly enough to have faith in it.
The morning was very successful and the perspectives, both still and video are probably the best I have captured to this point, but I still had my post flight wobbly knees for a bit as I drove back to HQ to download the footage.
James Awesome image of the Reds and Thunderbirds, would loved to have seen that.
Bit of a gloomy day today with some big cancellations but I guess that the roll of the dice.
I shot this King Air about five years ago, and thought I'd try to make a good reflection out of it with my Photoshop steps I have developed.
Still not quite where I want to be with them, but it is a work in progress.
Great looking King Air, but the interior was this hideous blue leather. Just didn't look good in my opinion.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend. So thankful that here in Texas, so far, we haven't "truly" experienced summer temperatures like we normally do.

Cool shot, EXCEPT for the Yankees hat...
Apologies if the hat causes any offence! If it's any better I had a Dallas Cowboys cap on today. Have to confess as one is follicly challenged the hat is purely a defence tool & both were emergency purchases when on holiday in the states.
Dare I admit it, I only have one American sports team that I follow, NY Jets; and seeing as my UK football team is Charlton Athletic, you can see I am not a glory hunter!!
