Which would YOU take in the back seat? biggrin

Maybe they think she should become a member of the 'mile high club', lol.

Sorry about resurrecting this old thread, but I had to post an update. She went to the Reno Air Races and got to ride in a P-51 while she was there, and do some air-to-air stuff with other Mustangs.

I will say that she does a pretty good job on the photography. It's a little uneven, with some shots being out of focus or blurred, and others looking very nice, but overall, she does fairly well.

Maybe if I shaved my beard and wore a wig....

Is she even there in some official capacity (media/press) or how does this work?

It's absolutely a shame when guys with years of practice can't get a ride to safe their life, and then get beaten in the competition for online views by people with little experience but some kind of "in".

If it's any consolidation - there is not much skill involved in a straight one-vs-one Air2Air with two good pilots. Unless you start setting up your own shots, which she certainly won't be doing yet. One of the biggest oxymorons of the whole aviation photography scene is how incredible easy it is to get good pictures when you are in the right spot.

I think she just caught the attention of some pilots at an air show and got some invites.

Here's a few shots of hers:
