OK. They will talk to airport security now and get prelim clearance to get some cars out on the ramp in front of the hangar. When the weather gets a bit nicer toward spring they need me to give them a week or 2 notice and we will go out there on a Saturday or Sunday to set up a shoot. It's on the north border of the Indianapolis International airport. Directions when it's time to roll.

All you "photogs" start studying aviation photography and come up with some classy angles, effects and such so it's not just snap-shots. I'll want to make mural wall graphic for my garage from this.

Very crappy rain pic from yesterday's trip. Lear 55:

Got this set up this am with the pilots. Details a bit later.

The blue one Eric is talking about was at Ooley and Blackburn at the time of that ad. They may know the real deal on it and it's current whereabouts.

I love the second video. The Lambo on street tires carefully drives around the water and waits like a gentleman for the Viper to get done with all his shenanigans. Burnout, test launches, revving.

Then the Viper crashes while having his butt handed to him by the 6.0. Classic.

It's kept at the Indpls International Airport since that is just a few minutes from our office. I'll see if the pilots would be able to help us arrange a shoot for early spring. It's a Lear 55.

Don't forget Mrs Doltmo has a plane too if you want to start with props.

It would take someone 10 seconds to sort that out by the tail number. I'll be at the hangar next Thurs and see how we could get some cars to the plane side of the fence. If we can do that, coordinating the weather with a day the plane is not in use should be manageable. Then we just need our 3 staff photographers, Webby, Palmer and Yuki.

Cool collection. Gives me an idea. My boss has a sweet Lear with nice graphics. We should do a MWSCC photo shoot, sportscars and jet.

Dan,

Great post. I did not have the time to type more than I did!

Possible Ferrari could supply engines to the auqiring entity of Honda's team. I'm sure they would get the top shelf engine.

Keep us posted on what all you are hearing and reading. Your racing thread posts are pretty insighful and on target.

Besides, Bernie's wife is sueing him now for divorce, so at least he will have someone else to hate besides race fans for awhile.

Effective immediately due to economics and struggling car sales.

Bad news for all.
