What a bloody great year!

It is with a heavy heart that I write this, my last aviation blog post for 2010. It was a great year filled with new friends, great photographic opportunities and many chances to combine the two. So in typical "year in review" style I will bid adieu to 2010 with a look at some of the great times I was blessed to be part of. May God bless you and your families in the upcoming year and GET OUT THERE AND PHOTOGRAPH SOMETHING IN THE AIR!!!!!!

NOTE: this is a very long post with OVER 120 images, please allow time for it to load.

God bless you,

James

England was a good time for us for many different reasons, interacting with your kids was one of them! :-)
