A2A Cessna 185 - Fat Tire Cowboys

[Lowflynjack]

My photo pilot and I headed North to Lubbock, TX to meet up with a couple of the Fat Tire Cowboys. We shot a Cessna 185 and a Piper Super Cub. As always, great times!

Here are a couple of non air-to-air shots.

Wow.

You can keep the plane; I just want that hangar!

Those ain't no 32 inch tires

Yeah, I agree. The hangar is a sweet spot to hang out!

All it lacks is a Hooters waitress serving beer.

Y’know, Jack - I think you’re missing a niche opportunity.

Ever consider doing a series of hangar photos for a coffee table style book? Everything from Taj-style palaces to dirt floor shade hangars, junk and tool filled t-hangars, EAB in progress hangars, blimp hangars, warbird hangars, etc., etc. Toss in some vintage planes, cars, and motorcycles.

Sounds like work to me! I enjoy the air-to-air photography and don't mind the editing time. I've had air-to-air video guys tell me I should do video, but I sure love my free time!

Maybe, or maybe not. You probably see a wide variety of hangars already when you're doing air-to-air shoots.

True. I've seen a few!

Yes, there's a hangar in the photo!

 

[Half Fast]

Exactly! It’s almost a byproduct of your a-to-a stuff. You might as well make money off it.

I'd love to have both the plane and the hangar! But for the hangar, that "You ain't no Fat Tire Cowboy" logo painted on the cross beam would have to go... too much ego combined with lousy grammar, hurts my brain.

Great pics!!
