Although I admit, I'm a little biased, but I really like the picture of all the RV-10s on the Van's 2007 Accessory catalog with Tim's in the forefront.
I've always given Van's permission to use any of my pictures anytime in any capacity. I didn't know they were using this picture I took at LOE'06 on the cover. What an honor!
Trust me, it looked better in person <g>. I remember at the time thinking that I had about a half million dollars worth of RV in my lens and that I should probably not screw it up <g>.
That was one of the coolest flights I've had yet! Was great to have such a good gang to go with, that's for sure...thanks to them all. Doug sure does a great job with the camera, but after reviewing the many dozen other photos I can tell you every single person has their work cut out for them to get a photo like that.
Oh, Doug, by the way, that's probably more like 3/4 of a million in the photo.

Tim's not kidding on the pilots having their work cut out for them! I just pulled up one of the photo software apps I use to cull through the take and see that I took (32) pictures in about 60 seconds on that flight. Click on the thumbnail and you'll see that there were only 1 or 2 frames where the spacing was perfect. Turbulence was present and made having digital a must. Tim's probably right about this being 3/4 million of RV. Oh, and doing this above the LOE fly-in with all those eyes on you makes my stomach churn again just thinking about it . And we do this hobby to relax, right?
That 5-ship that Ed Hicks did a few years back just floors me - and he did that with FILM (not digital).
That was a great flight with great planes and great people. Wonderful memory.
