I often go through the archives of my time as a US Navy Photographer. I ran across these 4 photos, thought you all might like.

The first two are of an in-flight refueling a from a ship where there is no room to land. In this case it's the USS Reclaimer a sub rescue/salvage ship. The Helo lowers her hoist and receaves a fuel hose. And then flys along side while refueling.

Next two are of a TA-4J flight I took to photograph an inflight reinlistment. I cannot tell you how much fun that flight was. The last shot is my "Look Ma' I'm a fighter Jock" photo. But I am still a rotor head at heart.

Some great shots. Also goes to prove how much talent those pilots have.

Think I would lose my lunch having to fly that close parallel to a ship

My life is like the movie Office Space
