Excellent job, Roger, with the TBirds Photographer interview.

Airborne photography is tough to get into in the Air Force, I certainly tried back when I enlisted in '87. I thought that I probably had a pretty reasonable chance with 7-8 years of aviation photography and a pretty good group of photo credits behind me at the time, but no luck - although there was a kid in my basic training flight that got a slot who claimed to have never picked up a camera before...

On the other hand I ended up as a Viper crew chief, and while I couldn't carry my Canon every day, I couldn't have had a better enlistment.

Mike Kopack

...of course the Canon still come out of the bag now and then...

Great interview! I'd never really put any thought into how they get all those great shots of the jets during the manuevers and in front of all those landmarks.
