I flew with them, attended their briefings, and generally watched as a team came together during a very difficult three month trial. I was able to see the behind-the-scenes story of what it takes to make that show happen, and it was phenomenal. I was faced with new photographic challenges also, as the intense maneuvering and high G forces of the Thunderbird routine brought new meaning to the word concentration. One of the quickest ways to a severe headache I know, is to be staring sideways out the cockpit, looking through a small viewfinder, trying to focus, pulling Gs, and maneuvering violently in ways you have no control over. But, like the fledgling Thunderbird pilots, I too became more competent with each flight and was able to produce enough shots that met my standards, for the book. It was the first book of its kind done on the team, and after reviewing it, the team was so impressed, they made me an Honorary Thunderbird, an honor bestowed on only few in the team's 40 year history. I was very proud of that, and felt like I had enjoyed the experience of a lifetime in the making of that book. But little did I know that just a year later, I would be involved in an even bigger project. I knew the Navy Blue Angels were coming up on their 50th Anniversary year, and really didn't have a good book about the team. I pursued the idea and was told no, each time I contacted the team about.
