|
|||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||
After getting everyone and everything running properly... my Friend Mike Cabbage |
|||||||||||||
and six fellow PPGs headed over from Chapin Beach to Sandy Neck! | |||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||
They headed over the channel that enters Barnstable Harbor for Sandy Neck Beach. |
|||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||
I had a heads-up from Mike so got my D-80 Nikon ready for a photo op... |
|||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||
...and boy, what a photo op! These things are COOL! |
|||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||
The Lead Pilot, Pete Brown, came straight at me, and really low... |
|||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||
...I mean LOW - I could count the number of eyelets on Pete's boots!!! |
|||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||
(2) One by one, they streamed by... |
|||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||
(3) ...some low, some high... |
|||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||
Top center, Ed Mockler... low left, Jim Ellsworth and right center, Mike Cabbage. | |||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||
These guys, (l to r) Ed, Jim and Mike, really know how to maneuver these birds! |
|||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||
Hey, is that Mike... with Pete up above him? |
|||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||
Really colorful to watch... that's Pete Brown again, the guy that led them in. |
|||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||
(8) ...as they looped back and swung around for another pass. |

|||||||||||||
Cut it out Mike, I almost fell over backwards! |

Pete with the morning sun behind him... made for some nice shots... | |||||||||||||
