Air-to-Air with Two Bonanzas

clear [Music] today we're doing something a little different and a lot more fun we're gonna go do an air-to-air shoot with a local photographer named adam we're also gonna go fly with another veto bonanza owned by my friend thea i leave michigan in like two days so this is kind of the final shoot that we're doing before i head out so i'm just kind of sitting here waiting for them to pre-flight and start up and then we'll go ahead and get up there adam is a super great photographer to work with i've done a ton of shoots with him and he's just so excited about air to air which i think makes doing these shoots like 10 times more fun adam rented this gyro that's supposed to stabilize video really well it's like a chipotle burrito sized kind of metal thing adam is primarily doing video he said about 95 video this shoot since he's renting that gyro and maybe a still or two if he uh catches a good moment that would be good for one it's a little cloudy out but hopefully it'll clear up enough the sun is out enough that hopefully we'll get good light and maybe get a good sunset right now i'm just waiting for them to start up thea already started up she's on the solo ramp i'm at aviation center and adam and james the photopilot are down at michigan flyers so they're in a 182 and then we have the two retail bonanzas i'm kind of by the run-up area so i'm waiting for them to taxi by and then i'll follow them down i'm so excited to be doing this shoot it's going to be so fun i love formation flying i love doing air-to-air shoots like this i think being able to see the people flying the plane like i mean obviously it's really cool to get a photo of yourself flying but i think it just it really like personifies the plane and it's really cool to think about how all these little airplanes each have their own backstory so i think it's really cool i hope you guys are excited about this as i am because this is going to be really fun i have done a lot of air to air with adam just the two of us but we're going to be in a flight of three this time which i think will be yeah very fun in our open information connect two one five three zero observation when two four
