Bread


So here is something different, bread. I often struggle with cooking but one thing I like to do is bake bread. I have played around with baking several different types of bread and my favorites are usually the Artisan type breads. This is from a rustic baguette recipe but instead of baguettes I typically will do a round loaf. This one I baked today so I thought I would share.......well I will share the picture with you at least.

The P-38





Another interesting WW2 plane is the P-38. There are very few of them left and two of them were at the air races this year. I believe they were there more for show as I do not think they race them at all. These images were all shot the same evening as the Tigercat and I believe they were all going up for a photo shoot that you can read about on this photographer's blog HERE if you are interested, it is actually a pretty interesting story.

Tigercat


These are a couple images of the Tigercat's that were at the air races this year. There is usually one there every year though I am not sure I have ever seen it race but this year there were two of them at the races and as you can see in the bottom image both planes were racing. This is one of the planes out there that I find more interesting, though my favorite is probably still the P-51 Mustang.
The top image was taken in the evening after all the races were over and some of the pilots that have been working on their planes during the day will take them up for test flights so we were hanging out for a while catching some of these planes take off. Both the Tigercat's I believe were going up with the P-38's to fly in formation for a photo shoot.

FA-18 Super Hornet





These are some images I got of the FA-18 Super Hornet back in September at the Reno Air Races. With the Air Races and Fall setting in I have actually taken a lot of photos in the last couple of months so I still have a lot of photos from back then that I want to work on as well as several fall photos to work on.
