This photo shoot almost did not happen! It had stormed all day and I did not think we would be able to fly, but with Mike’s experience and knowledge, he coached me and we managed a few great shots in this gallery!

The pictures were shot from an RV-4 airplane. The pilot, Mike Ziemann, graduated from the United States Air Force Academy in 1998 and then served 10½ years in the USAF as a T-38 instructor pilot and an F-16 fighter pilot. Mike was deployed to Iraq from September 2007 for one year where he flew with the Iraqi Air Force as a combat aviation advisor. Mike has over 2500 total flight hours.

Thanks for all the fun Mike!
