Well, Sat. Oct, 3rd (Spaceport America Fly-In day) was a poor day for aerial photography – lots of haze, running from thunderstorms, waiting out thunderstorms at the airport, etc. . . , plus 95% of my image and video files got corrupted 🙁 . . . memory card issues? … or, if you wanna go out on the edge (since it involved multiple cards & devices), . . . we were flying by active military exercises taking place at WSMR & Mac Greggor Military Ranges, & I imagine there was a lot of electromagnetic energy bandying about. Oh well, “stuff happens”, as they say. It was a fun day nonetheless. The Spaceport building is impressive. I hope it starts to see some real action soon.
Here’s a few samples of the surviving pics I was able to recover from the memory cards.
Enjoy!

Unprocessed hazy aerial mountain photo illustrating the visual flying conditions that day. We also spent alot of effort avoiding roving thunderstorms as well.
