At April's Drill if the weather is decent, I should be flying to western Pennsylvania to cover air assault training for an infantry unit on Saturday and watching Blackhawk crews practice fire surpression. There should be great pictures if the mission goes off according to plan. There will be both Chinook and Blackhawk helicopters on the air assault training mission. I am hoping to ride on the ramp at the back of the Chinook and shoot pictures of the Blackhawks flying in formation. We will be flying west in the morning and east in the evening, so I will have to ask for some kind of turn to the north or south during the trip or my pictures wil all be silhouettes.
On Sunday, I want to be on the ground near where the 500-gallon bucket picks up water and get a shot of that and then catch the water dropping from the bucket. It should be dramatic if I can get close enough.
