I just learned that Red Bull has chosen NYC for it’s United States location. The Air Race World Championship course will be laid out in the Hudson River Corridor – or it’s new name – NYC Class B Hudson River exclusion zone. What it means is that millions of people will get a ring-side seat [...]
I just wanted and captured the arrival of the annual Mooney Caravan to AirVenture. Awesome! It’s amazing to see SO many planes landing at once.

This is one of three photo albums I created [...]
