Heres a few of yours truelly

Screwin' off at work. This one was my Facebook profile pic for the majority of the year

If you go to www.fbohotties.com, and look in the line guy section, you will see a similar photo that I took the year before of my friend

Posing in front of John Mohrs Stearman while he got ramp checked

One of our customers allowed Mooney to shoot a promo video with his Ovation 2 and it went downhill afterwards. A 22year old sales rep with a ppl only took it up with a photographer and one other person in 106F heat, and wind gusts up to 30kts. On one landing, he bounced, tried to fight it, bouced again, rolled through the grass, hit the taxiway, and collapsed the gear. As I recall theres a lawsuit pending. Shocked
