Here comes Air Force One
By · Comments
I had covered enough emergency landings to familiarize myself with traffics patterns at PHL. So, when I heard about President Clinton coming to Philly one morning in 1997, I decided to scoot down to the airport to catch this glimpse of Air Force One coming in for a landing.

Unreasonable behavior
By · Comments
Back in the 1980s and 90s, I covered a number of air shows, often going along for the ride as in this WWII-era T-6 “Texan” — where I even managed to grab a self-portrait during a barrel roll. I remember the pilot telling me during the parachute drill that my cue to bail out would be if I saw him depart. Somehow, that seemed reasonable at the time. I found this print while looking for a Joe Paterno picture yesterday and hope to post more from the print archives soon.
