Spent a couple of hours in a helicopter today trying to catch the last aerials that will have some leaves and, albeit faint, green. I'm not a big fan of flying in helicopters with an unfamiliar pilot, but I learned a lesson today. My pilot was a sweet twenty something little girl, and apparently our paths had crossed before because she immediately told me a story about landing a Cub at KTKI years ago and I photographed her touching down. Bryan must have been in the tower he's always tell pilots that I was out there and to smile big and turn on all the lights they had, then I'd notice the runway/taxiway lights coming on around me. Man, just telling that story makes me sad........................anyway apparently we got a beautiful shot of Hope greasing the Cub on, made her a print and gave it to Bryan to give to her the next time she was out playing. Well here she was, about to carry my life in her hands for a couple of hours all the while looking about my Granddaughter Gracie's age. The lesson, oh yeah, it didn't take men long to realize that Hope was anticipating my every positioning need, some before I said a word. She was smooth and just all around excellent. She had not flown a list of sites as long as I had scheduled before, but she was a trooper and made my life considerably easier. It was a beautiful day in The Lone Star today, but a couple of hours of shooting with the doors off was plenty for both of us.
My help service is taking delivery of a gimbal system using an 8K Red Weapon. They want me to help them with some testing, should be fun!
