How’d You Get That Shot? – Legacy Hornet / Helldiver « Tyson V. Rininger's Blog from tvrphoto.wordpress.com | When I arrived at NAS Lemoore in California’s Central Valley, I had already seen many of the commemorative jets painted to celebrate the Centennial of Naval Aviation. Sitting on the ramp, all by itself, was an F-18C adorned with a paint scheme I hadn’t yet seen before. If it weren’t for the presence of the world’s only SB2C-5 Helldiver operated by the Commemorative Air Force, I don’t think I would ever have made the connection. The Hornet emulated the looks of a WWII Helldiver unit. What were the odds that both of these aircraft would be at the same location?...

Ready to Meet the Storm from Moose Peterson Aviation Photography » The P-38 Lightning, it’s very name suggests not only speed but being part of the storm. My father for a short time was on the line involved in their production. And then later they flew cover for him while on missions in the Pacific in a B-29. He had an infinity for the “Lit’l buddies” that flew beside “his” B-29, the P-51, P-38 and F4U which he passed along to me in his stories. So I am never surprised when I’m drawn to these magnificent machines and find a challenge is telling their story. I’m kinda partial to this one I just took at Oshgosh…

Gallery: The Blimps of War from Wired: Danger Room by Lena Groeger | For seven decades, they were a curiosity, a relic of a lighter-than-air future that never quite came true. But in recent years, airships have once again become a major force in aviation. The Pentagon has gone especially blimp-crazy, pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into advanced -- and massive -- surveillance airships that can stay in the sky way longer than any drone. Here are some of the new Blimps of War...
