Hoop’s First Airshow

by Rob

Boulder Municipal Airport (KBDU) had an open house today. Not an airshow per se, but there were a couple of cool airplanes parked on the ramp (including a very rare two-seat Supermarine Spitfire trainer) for inspection. I took Hooper to the airport for our very first “father-son” type outing. It was great. At one point, a flight of three AT-6 “Texan” aircraft flew overhead, and my friend Michael got a shot of Hooper and I enjoying the show.

A few moments later, they all landed and taxied up to where we were, and Hoop didn’t even flinch. So, he likes airplanes, even the big, loud, radial-engined ones. I was so proud.

I love that photo! I used to get paid to shoot (video) and couldn’t compose something that perfect if I had to; that’s pretty much the quintessential air show picture.

Hey, thanks for the comment, Teller. You’re not gonna like to hear this, but that shot was taken with a point and shoot and the guy who shot it simply held the camera down and clicked the shutter with his thumb. He never even composed it, it was pure luck! Well, maybe that actually makes us all feel better, eh? BTW, I enjoy reading your blog too.
