Commander Greg McWherter assumed command of the Blue Angels during a change of command ceremony on November 16th. Commander McWherter will lead the team through the 2009-2010 airshow seasons. Joining Commander McWhether as new members of the team are #3 Major Chris Collins and #6 Lieutenant Frank Weisser.

The United States Navy has posted a list of eligible aviation events for 2009. Keep in mind the major demonstration teams will be releasing their 2009 schedules next month at the ICAS convention in Las Vegas.

I decided to create this blog to present some of my other aviation photography that doesn’t fit the air show theme of my ShowLinePhoto site. You can expect to see things like military and civilian airport spotting photos, aviation museum tour photos, and even photos from my own backyard (yes, I am one of those people who run outside to see what is flying over). In addition, I will be posting comments about the air shows I attend and posting newsworthy events about the air show and aviation trades.

Speaking of newsworthy events, I have been hard at work this summer with a redesign of the ShowLinePhoto site. The overall theme will closely mirror this blog site. Gone will be the javascript menubar and in its place a simpler text based menubar. A new section will be added - videos! And finally, after many requests, I will have prints for sale. I still have several things to accomplish, including attending five air shows in the next nine weeks, so please excuse my tardiness if I don’t get the fall air show photos posted in a timely manner.

That’s all for now, thanks for stopping by and feel free to comment about anything you see here.
