Listening to "The Sound of Freedom" flying overhead and capturing fighter pilots at work dwarfs every other photography discipline. there is just no comparison Documenting the storied A10 WartHawg in action. Few civilians get to see close up what I have been able to document, the skill and expertise these men and women have is truly an inspiration!
