What took so long?
Bad case of procrastination and an intent to use the same airplane for the cover photo as I did for the first two. (Hey, it's a Super Cub and it's yellow.) Since I'd had it on skis and floats, I wanted to get a takeoff shot of it on wheels. The problem is that it's in Michigan and every time I'd get back there and hope to do a photo shoot it was either on skis of floats, not wheels. I finally decided that I take my friend up on his offer to fly a bunch of takeoffs from a backcountry strip near here in his Citabria. His girlfriend (accomplished photographer and pilot, just got her commercial) laid down near the side of the runway and took a bunch of photos as he blasted off - and we got a good one.
I took the photo below of her taking the photo of her partner launching in the Citabria.
I'll be mailing your and Brandon's books in the morning.
Thank you for the orders!
