Hog Time

Screen shot 2011-11-02 at 11.18.08 PM

Just in case you were wondering, it’s been so long since I’ve posted anything that I almost forgot the login and password for the site. Almost.  Have no fear though. I’m back and will be posting at least weekly.  I’ve got some cool video segments coming up, including some awesome product reviews.

In the mean time, here is a video highlighting the need for hog control. These guys use a helicopter and a damned cool sighting system to get the advantage on the hogs.  Now before you start emailing me and getting on your whole PETA soapbox remember two things.  One, shooting hogs from helos is legal in Texas and two, they are not that cute. Especially if your a farmer, or a small kid playing in a field.

And don’t forget – there are other aviation bloggers who advocate the intake of certain pig products :)

Take that you dirty pigs! Oink, Oink!!! What now piggies!!! OHHH YEAA!!

Watch it in full screen mode for the full HD effect.  Enjoy 22 minutes of peaceful flying through Texas complete with Johnny Cash tunes!

Whirly Birds vs Jet Pilots

OK, So first off this is totally NSFW (NOT Safe For Work). So if you’re readin’ a little porn during you lunch hour I would skip this one and watch it when you get home an prop your feet up for the night.

Second, I don’t have a dog in this hunt.  I’m neither a heli pilot or a jet pilot, sadly. My 172 goes just fast enough to scare me (OK, with students in it).  I have flown some high performance twins like the Cessna 310 and King Air 90, but nothin’ that’s burning jet fuel faster than I can pay for it.

So without further ado – I bring you the epic heli pilots vs jet pilot. You descide who wins.

Post your comments below. Oh and please, I have enough fake Gucci purses (not really) and really big dildos, so comments with links to those websites (and other crappy stuff that has nothing to do with aviation) will be marked as spam.

Enjoy!

Gettin’ Crazy with an MD500

Screen shot 2011-01-04 at 9.39.40 PM

People that know me, know that I love a few things.  And airplanes and photography is right at the top (just below my gorgeous wife and beautiful kids – both kids are named after airplanes BTW).

Anyhow, this video has both photography and airplanes (well helicopters)! Joe McNally is one of those wicked awesome photographers.  Not only is he good, but he shares his knowlege.  I really love his book “Hot Shoe Diaries” that covers how to take fantastic images with small flashes.  I found out about Joe through a blog that I read almost daily. The Strobist is a blog by David Hobby a longtime journalist photographer.

Now for the airplanes (helicopters) part.  They are using an MD500 to do work on power lines. They are dropping the workers and Joe McNally off on the towers to do work on them.  Talk about a day at the office!  Joe is photographing them for a National Geographic bit.
