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).

Great picture…mahalo Jamm. Can you share the location of your special spot?

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.
