Last week when I sent out pics from the movie set, Rita (who is near and dear to my heart for giving me my start in photography) sent me an email saying that she thinks my life is the coolest because I get so many amazing opportunities (all thanks to my camera).
So today I went out to the Wings and Rotors Air Museum to shoot some photos of a "make a wish" type flight for a former Vietnam Huey pilot who has terminal cancer and wanted to take one "last" ride. Imagine how I felt when I was invited along for the flight! There are no words eloquent enough to express my feelings about flying through the air in a real Vietnam Huey flown by real Vietnam veterans. It was almost overwhelming. You know what? Rita's right - today was the coolest - ever!
Some pics from the flight are here I named the gallery The Bucket List because it was a wish fulfilled for a terminally ill former crew member. He's the one sitting in the gunner's seat and he said this ride was on the top of his "bucket list".
The Wings and Rotors crew is leaving May 13 and flying three Hueys and a Kiowa to Washington D.C. to do a fly over of the Vietnam Wall on Memorial Day. It's going to be an amazing event - and a true honor to all our Veterans! Their mission is called Flying Thunder.
Anyway, I just wanted to share my incredible experience with all of you who I care so much about!
