Soarrrrr!

Was on a mission for wild art yesterday and decided to visit a place my father used to take me as a kid to watch planes.  I just got there, and a trio of U.S. Airforce F-15’s were taking off from the Reef Runway.  Armed with only a 70-200, I parked and tracked them as they took off, and was lucky enough to catch this gentleman covering his ears in my frame during my pan motion–wild art mission:  accomplished!

Rick Swazey covers his ears as an Air National Guard F-15 Eagle takes off from the Reef Runway Tuesday, June 16, 2009 at Keehi Lagoon near the Airport.  (Jamm Aquino/Honolulu Star-Bulletin).

    Thanks Lori!
    It’s at the end of Keehi Lagoon, in the parking lot. As a child, my father would take me there and teach me what kind of plane was taking off.
