Flying Heritage Collection
http://www.flyingheritage.com/
3407 109th St SW
Everett, WA

Saturday August 16th at Paine Field in Everett, Washington
11am to 1pm



Flying Heritage Collection's Summer Saturday Fly Days for 2014 continues Saturday August 16th with
"Luftwaffe Day" featuring the collections Bf 109, FW 190, and Storch in an areial display around noon. A panel discussion will take place after before the air show at 11am Dan Hagedorn, from Museum of Flight, will discuss the North American AT-6 Texan! 
These maintenance flights are planned activities, but somewhat tentative, based on weather conditions, pilot availability and the mechanical condition of the aircraft. Decisions to cancel Fly Day may not be made until shortly before the flight, so if you have a concern please call FHC prior to your visit.

As of today the long term forecast in the Seattle area is for afternoon showers through Friday afternoon, but should be clear and dry for the weekend.

Take your aviation photography to new heights with my Guide to Aviation Photography full of tips, camera settings and shooting techniques for war birds, jets and helicopters.

No. 293 Guide to Aviation Photography


A practical how-to guide to photographing aircraft for anyone
from air show enthusiasts to those aspiring to be professional aviation photographers. Simply defined, aviation photography is the taking photos of airplanes. But behind the scenes of this seemingly simple act are a number of critical elements: aircraft scheduling, lighting, spotting locations, diversions, and sometimes interactions with law enforcement officials. In this guide I will talk about finding locations suitable for photographing aircraft, the equipment I use, camera settings, basic photographic concepts and techniques and discuss basic aviation knowledge in order for you to improve your photography for years to come.

There are 86 pages and 73 images in 8 chapters covering everything from airport layout, camera gear, what to pack, how to find air shows, where to stand, different camera settings and techniques to help you improve your aviation photography.
