Air-to-Air with the CAF
I had
the opportunity to fly with the morning formation. I was in the #3
aircraft of the formation, an SNJ-4 (N86WW) owned and flown by Chris
Rushing. Flight lead was Jason Somes in his T-6D (N8540P). Aircraft
formation #2 was Mark Russell in his T-34B (N341MR). Aircraft #4 was
the CAF SNJ-5 flown by Terry Cedar. We rolled onto runway 26 for a
formation takeoff and performed a number of formation manuevers in
skies above Ventura, Oxnard and Camarillo. I want to thank all four of
these guys for a great flight and fantastic opportunity to shoot these
aircraft in their native environment, the sky! Thanks to Chris Rushing
for giving me "an office" to work in. You guys are pros and made my job
easy!
