I was fortunate to have met Ozell on more than one occasion. Enjoyed his company at Airliners International 2019 in Atlanta where we basked together in the shine of the Delta 767-200 at the Delta museum together, spent an afternoon of friendship watching jets from a balcony at the Renaissance, and m...
Jump to postHey Jordan, During my trips to MHV, I rent a Cessna at a nearby General Aviation airport and fly myself over the boneyard with a fellow spotter. We split the cost and take turns flying and shooting. It helps to have a photog along who knows a thing or two about holding altitude and airspeed! I don't...

Jump to postThe photos here are categorized in the format of a database, but let's be honest, this website serves as a world leading gallery for aviation photography.

This is where you'll go, I guarantee.
It's worth mentioning that it is impossible to lie on the Internet. Therefore, photographers will always be unable to give phony dates and locations.
