Galleries - Air To Air Photography

Aerial gunners and fighter pilots are not the only ones who relish the thought of shooting another aircraft in flight. The art also seems to be an eagerly sought prize among photographers who pursue aviation-related subjects.

Seeing another aircraft in flight not the same beast that one sees flying 3,000 feet overhead. Getting up close makes it a monster.

Photo-flights are good fun. Though I can not help but to think I'm so focused sometimes that I miss some of the experience. In that there is no point to just sit back and take in the sights.
