Photographer's Narrative

 

When I was stationed at Luke AFB, the aircraft I was most use to seeing was the F-16, it was all I knew. When I came to Charleston AFB and became an aerial photographer which meant I would fly a lot in a C-17 Globemaster III. It is much bigger than the F-16 and going from fighter to airlift was new experience.
