Sometimes, I would create a particularly beautiful place for me to go and achieve whatever it was I wanted to accomplish, sometimes just a neat place to hang out while my dentist did his thing and he worked without benefit of my having any anesthetic … have to admit I do use anesthetic now, but for a long time…

Heard from a friend around noon that the airport had been informed by the USAF that they would be doing a photoshoot in the area utilizing two F-16’s and an F-35, and inquired as to local rules for fly byes.

By Ted Grussing… after I took this shot, I ran aground on the beach … keeping your focus through a 560 mm lens on a Pintail whilst piloting a boat is not generally known to end well, but the shore was mud and it was most definitely worth the slight aggravation when you get a shot like this.
