Big Bear 2011

Sergio, in the co-pilot's seat in the cockpit of my little aircraft, took the shot of Big Bear, California, below. We were coming in for landing, the end of the runway can be seen bottom center. Yes, it juts out into the lake. This was the first Big Bear shoot in 2011, where we shot Eden Wells, Morgane Paris and Loren Chance.


The candid shot below was also taken at the first Big Bear shoot. That's me and Loren Chance. Everything was done and we were all heading back home after two days of shooting. Loren was coming back with Sergio and myself, piling into the small aircraft of mine. We took off over the lake, then banked back to the south around some mountains, then up over another ridgeline to head east back to New Mexico. With the plane quite loaded with the three of us and assorted shooting equipment, the aircraft was climbing more slowly than even I anticipated. No problems, we cleared the ridge line with plenty of room, but if there is a next time, I'll plan to spiral climb once we're past the town. (Note: I'm wearing a kamakaze shirt.)


Over Arizona, we flew over Meteor Crater and the red rocks at Sedona. In the photo below, we're coming up on the town of Sedona flying by some of the red cliffs.
