Hey Doc

 While we are on photography subject, Moffett Air Show. Goes back 20-30 years when I was working at Intel, my group had a military nut with the same name as I. We started going to every air shows in the greater Bay Area every year. We enjoy to see all the military planes and some even allowed people to go onboard the plane for a closer experience. I have many photos I took to prove. Now forward to 3-4 years ago. Most of the air show were no longer here except once a year, the Collins Foundation will come to Moffett Field for a week, Its noy much of an air show but actually take flight in B-17, B-24, B-25 and P-51. It costs $450 donation to let you take a 30 minutes flight of your choice. I am always fascinated with WWII bombers, I can't let this opportunity to pass. So for two years, once on B-17, and once on B-24.

October 2019, A tragic news came that the B-17  909 had crashed with passengers onboard. Many killed and injured. A fire after the crash had destroyed the plane, I will put the photo I took of the plane as a tribute to the man and machine on 909
