“From my timeline… It was the Memorial day weekend in May of 1991. The place was the Breckenridge Airshow in Texas. We had waited for the light to soften enough for some evening photos. When the time was right, we launched in Wiley Sanders B-25J “Georgia Mae” with Bill Arnot’s B-25J “Silver Lady” in tow. The flight was cruising at around 170 mph at about 1500 feet. We had the benefit of a low lying cloud layer over the reservoir near the airport, so we decided to fly over it. It was a fairly smooth 30-40 min flight, although, it was very hot that evening. I was in “Georgia Mae’s” waist gunner position wearing shorts and a tee shirt. Once we were in formation I got down to business. Usually, when there was strong lighting from the front, I would shoot with Kodachrome 64. But I had been experimenting with back lighting enough to know that it was a bit like monochrome…. all about the tones, and not so much about color. So when I saw how this flight was unfolding with the cloud tops and the smoke, I sensed this might work. I went with a standard 1/60th shutter, which nets about f9 in the shadows (estimate). I shot two 36 exposure rolls of the the back-lit side of a circle. You could say I got lucky… who knows?”
