The "Money" Shot

This month's picture was taken remotely by Guy Rhodes from the Post Tribune during one
of the press rides for the  Gary Airshow last year. Guy is hiding behind my (John Rippinger's)
 helmet to get that perfect shot. I'm flying left wing or in the #3 position. You can see numbers
 2 & 3 in my visor and the aircraft to my right is flying slot or #4. What you don't see is all of the
 professional digital camera gear mounted with gaffer's tape and Velcro to the glare shield
 just aft of the windshield. This just goes to prove that a great professional photographer like
Guy Rhodes will do just about anything to get that perfect "Money Shot". Thanks Guy.
