Not for me, yesterday was the the first day of the work week. The greedy money grubbing boss made me do lots of chores around the house, and then drive to the airport and go on a flight. I did actually get to fly in our 182 instead of the leased 172. We were flying the State Fair of Oklahoma. They want it at a peak time to do a parking count and as a general record of the event.
The challenge for the fair is that to get the images captured we fly a back and forth pattern over the fair. And we took off from an airport on the west side of OKC. So we had to fly way south to avoid one airport approach (Wiley Post) and then go further north than we want to because ATC had several airliners coming into Will Rogers. The two airports named after two men that died in the same airplane crash.
Anyway the traffic was constant, the talk on the radio was constant, but we managed to go east and west up to the extended center line of Will Rogers many times. ATC was cool, and we got it all flown. It looks great. I processed it last night. Now I am tweaking it a little to make it one of the best images of the fair ever. The company I worked at that was started by Wil Moore, has been shooting the fair since the late 1950s. I have worked on the images for the last 14 years.
