Very nice pictures. How do you do frost protection from a helicopter?
- they fly back and forth across the vineyards keeping the air moving so that way it wont settle and freeze - thereby killing the grapes.

Was lucky enough to fly in the pilots seat of the B1 Lancer with the Kansas ANG and shot this as we were doing some aerial refuelling.

VFA 122 was the first squadron to get the Super Hornet and I was the first journo to fly in one so that was cool
