AVIATION
Military, NASA and civilian aviation photography. Historic moments in aviation history that were captured while I was on assignment for Aerospace and Defense magazines. Photography of the last take-off of the fabled SR-71 Blackbird on its last mission for NASA.  Several other photos are of the very first Northrop-Grumman RQ-4 Global Hawk to fly to a conflict zone as it returns to Edwards Air Force Base after its two-year mission in Asia. There are photos of the Space Shuttle Endeavour taking off atop its Boeing 747 carrier from the factory in Palmdale, CA to fly to Cape Canaveral for its maiden space flight.  There are other photos of Endeavour atop the Boeing 747 as they land at Edwards AFB and then fly over the Hollywood sign on the final flight to Los Angeles for retirement in the L.A. Science museum.
