Let’s change things up a little bit and enjoy this @boeing EF-18G Growler screaming through the sidewinder low-level training route.

With as photogenic as their aircraft are, I wonder why MD Monday’s aren’t a thing 🤷🏻‍♂️ . . . Here is a fun shot of one of @rpd_airsupportunit ‘s MD-500s. The amount of skill, talent, professionalism and caring that is found among the public safety aviation community is amazing. Like their brethren across the globe, the pilots, TFOs and maintainers assigned to Riverside PD’s Air Support Unit, are without a doubt, world-class. . . . #mdhelicopters #md500 #lawenforcement #lawenforcementaviation #airsupport #apsa #publicsafety #airtoair #airtoairphotography #aviationphotography #heli #helicopter #rotorhead #rotorheads #police #policehelicopter #heliopsmag #thinblueline #bluefamily #backthebadge #flir #nightsun #mdmondays (at Riverside, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1X2x8CBAwx/?igshid=l7xrab6knh08

Any guesses as to what kind of aircraft this office belongs to? Special thanks to all the amazing crews, organizations and team I’ve been working with lately! Lots more to come soon. #airattack #airattackmag https://www.instagram.com/p/BqztLW6l_hk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=m9zx42qy8z68

One last shot for the night. It’s staggering when you realize that the fire front is like this for many miles. This is but one minute sliver of the overall scene.

I had the pleasure of spending part of my day with my friends at @rpd_airsupportunit and Riverside Police Department’s Metro Team as they conducted joint training. What an outstanding group of officers doing an incredible service for their community!

Sometimes I need to remind myself that where we stepped onto the path, and where we hope to go, cannot always be clearly seen from where we are... and that’s okay. There is beauty, wonder and light to be found even in those moments shrouded by the fog and darkness of transition and change. #longexposure #longexposure_shots #light #lighttrails #night #road #roadtrip #lifelessons #notetoself #embracewhereveryouare #itsaboutthejourney https://www.instagram.com/p/BoRMzjXFqkY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v3z15lvqf9k1

“The Helicopter is probably the most versatile instrument ever created by man. It approaches closer than any other to fulfillment of mankind’s ancient dreams of the flying horse and the magic carpet.” - Igor Sikorsky Happy World Helicopter Day! Today, we celebrate and raise awareness of the contributions that helicopters make to the world and the incredibly diverse worldwide community that designs, flies and supports them. Incidentally, today is also World Photography Day. As such, I would also like to extend a special thank you to all of you who have joined, followed and encouraged me in both industries. I feel so grateful to all of you who have supported my journey and continue to light my path along the way, especially, my grandfather and my brother. Without their influence, I would likely not have the love of aviation that I do, nor the courage to ply my trade in the skies. Thank you🙏❤️📸🚁🛩 #worldhelicopterday #worldphotographyday #sikorsky #gratitude #iflypapillon #flythecanyon #airbushelicopters #papillonhelicopters #grandcanyonhelicopters #as350 #bouldercityairport #bouldercitynv #lasvegas #aviation #aviationlovers #hoverlover #aviationphotography #heli #whirlybird #rotorhead #helicopterassociationinternational #internationalsocietyforaviationphotography #avgeek #instaaviation #sunset #mountians #landscape #airport #kbvu (at Boulder City Municipal Airport)

It’s wonderful to see great aircraft getting repurposed in incredibly useful ways that their designers never even originally imagined. . . . This BAE146, converted and operated by @airspray_airtankers , is seen performing a water drop demo during the 2018 Aerial Fire Fighting North America Conference held earlier this year in Sacramento, CA. #airtanker #waterdrop #fire #aerialfirefighting #aviation #aviationphotography #fireseason #avrojet #bae146 #regionaljet #nextgenairtanker #largeairtanker #3000gallon #jet #irads #wildfires #california #forestfire #tanker #aerialfirefightingnorthamerica #tangentlink (at Sacramento McClellan Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bl_9eKvA9xm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qz2sxb0ukeb
