I actually hang out at airports more than my husband does. I have been into planes since I was 10 years old. My Dad worked for Macdonald Douglas and my Aunt worked for Hughes. She worked there when Howard Hughes was there.... It is in my blood and all of my friends thinks I am nuts. So I enjoy going to events just as much as my husband.

Having been married for 29 years now, I have had a number of hobbies over the years that my wife has put up with, but was supportive with all of them. My Photographic hobby is purty limited as I just don't load up my camera and run out the door to one of a wide varity of events that  <apsocals> members run off to and get the shots. Being already 60 Y/O, I'll let the younger photographers do that.

I will be out of the San Diego area for several months from May 10th til perhaps November 2010. I'm going to Minnesota to spend time with my mother (she 93) and while there will try to get aound to some of the southwestern Minnesota, northwestern Iowa, and eastern South Dakota airports and attractions and post pics when I can. I'll have a computer with me and a DSL line to access the internet.
Aero Union Tanker 25 (P-3A) is contracted to spend the 2010 fire season in Egan, MN beginning in May. So there's going to be something cool there already.  ;)

A lot of people have told me that my engagement photos show that she's a keeper... just because she agreed to it. Little do people know, the aviation theme was her idea  8)

My wife has no problem with me going out and shooting.     She will usually go with me to airshows.     We even made a day of it last Saturday and combined Plane Crazy at Mojave, Minter Field fly-in and a drive back over the Grapevine and 138 to see the wild flowers.

My honey is my dream girl. Those of you who know her understand   :)
(Those of you you who don't, she loves air shows and is a great photographer)

Almost if not all if my equipment is from my wife over the years for wedding anniversaries or birthdays.  She's a great wife.

That's so cool!
