I'm not versed at all on the photography techniques used...Glenn is the real deal and has a great back catalogue. Check out his website.

We flew mostly northwest into a setting sun to allow the light to hit the full side of the Waco. As in all formation work, lots of briefing beforehand so no surprises in the air. All worked as plan - they dropped me off right outside of Arlington's airspace at 9pm, as requested, and we were in the hangar right at full dark. Only annoyance was the 12 knot crosswind on landing, but this is a pretty forgiving airplane and it all worked out fine.

This is a lot of fun - I highly recommend it. Not only do you stretch some as a pilot, but you get a great keepsake in the pictures!

If you're unfamiliar with formation work, Glenn has pilots who can ride with you and handle the close-in work. Now, he's banging on me to do the Baron. Hmmmmm......

Maybe we could do a Baron two ship!

A Baron 2 ship sounds like a grand idea!

Add a Tbone and it would be really fantastic.

Went out last Saturday in the Waco and did some air-to-air photography work with Glenn Watson at Machpointone Aviation. I know I'm a bit biased, but I thought the pics turned out great...and the formation work was fun as well. Highly recommend Glenn for you Texas guys - he does great work and is really easy to work with - even for a newbie to air-to-air photography like me.

Enjoy!

These are really some amazing photos.
Is the plane still for sale?

Yep...I guess the cold weather has run off the biplane buyers. But Spring is here and I suspect that will drive some interest.

And that's okay - it isn't gathering dust. I've got plans to fly Young Eagles in the plane this coming Saturday and Glen Watson and I are going to do a photo shoot shortly with the Waco and Mike Sasser's Big Red 450 Stearman. Can't wait for that one!
