Bob has been around & interested in airplanes since age 4 and his first flight in a Ford Trimotor at Terre Haute's Hullman Field. After joining the Air Force in 1952, being set overseas and saving to purchase a Leica camera, he started photographing airplanes for fun. Later he worked for the Martin Aircraft Company and then NASA for 34 years. Bob figures he's had over 2 million miles of world travel flight time. One of his more unusual assignments included trips on 7 different aircraft carriers. These positions gave him time and opportunity to build a collection of 40,000 images, about half being digital. His images have appeared in NASA facilities & various aircraft publications and he continues to shoot for several aircraft businesses.
