Haole just completed the two ship flight lead certification and now he's working on the 4 ship. He's been flying 1-2 times a day, 5 times a week with briefing / debriefings that are lasting from 2-8 hours...each

On more than one occasion in the past couple of months he's telling me he's in the morning briefing by 05:30 and finishing the last de-briefing at midnight. Of course I tell him..."Hey you're flying an F-16 so it can’t be all that bad"

Looks like it's been edited anyway. look at the area above the wing - its all one colour/gradient.

[Stang]

Nope...no editing, straight out of the camera. The highlighted area is because they have huge lights running down the flight line which brighten up the upper surfaces. That exposure was 2 seconds which captured a lot of that light

This is a simular shot with the same effects

nice pictures....even if they do have a pilot :)

[Maple]

Well taken photographs Stang, you need to teach me, cause I could use the help. LOL :thumb:

[fireship4]

Lol the poses that guy pulls. No offence if it's you!

In reply to the photo editing - ah I didn't realise it was taken outside.

[Stang]

I shot the pictures for Kong for Christmas gifts for his family. He's one heck of a nice guy and from what the other pilots say, a good stick too.

This was one of my favorites from the shoot.

Cool picture!

[Gargoll]

great shots Stang, I love those photos :smile: ! Do you have a website or web gallery where I could see more of those? :smile:

By the way, is Kong still an XSI advisor? I know Haole has gone, what about Kong?
