Here’s another from my collection of photos of “SONORAN BEAUTY”. This aircraft has provided a lot of material from a recent weekend photo shoot. I hope to get the chance to revisit her soon.

On this Memorial Day weekend, take a moment to honor those who paid the ultimate price for the freedoms we hold so dearly.

On Saturday I took my first trip out to the Vintage Aero Flying Museum. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate and the turnout was not what I was hoping for.

With temps in the low 60s, rain and a low cloud ceiling, there was no flying of the museum’s replica WWI aircraft. I did take a walk through of the museum’s impressive WWI and WWII uniform and militaria displays and have a few photos to share with you.

I’m hoping to visit the museum again some time soon under better weather conditions. If you’re in Colorado, be sure to stop by the Vintage Aero Flying Museum.
