Big Plane for a Big Sky

Thanks to a friend at the airport, Hailey and I were able to go out onto the tarmac after hours and check out the massive AH-124 that landed in Bakersfield. It was really cool getting to walk all around it and see just how big this plane really is!

Wingspan from tip to tip is 80 yards wide!

68 feet high from ground to tip. 

Huge. Just...huge. 

It takes 300,000 pounds of thrust to get it off the ground. 

And, because the clouds were gorgeous too, I had to get a shot of Hangar Six.  

Night Crawling: Wandering the Streets of Bakersfield

So, despite living in a town that doesn't have much to do, and basically shuts down before 11:00pm on any given night, I have a lot of fun crawling around this place, because no one else is around. Also given the recent rain, it's given us a lot of fog. By a lot, I mean so thick at times you can't see more than 50 feet in front of you. Makes for a real exciting time while driving...

These were a few grabs I got last night while my wife and her sister spent some time in the car chatting and drinking flat whites while I drove around getting these shots.
