Original Air Force 1

I believe the first Air Force One was the converted C-54 named "The Sacred Cow" which was in use as the presidential plane during Harry Truman's presidency. I remember seeing a picture of The Sacred Cow on the tarmac at the famous meeting between President Truman and General MacArthur when President Truman cashiered MacArthur for insubordination.

The Sacred Cow was FDR's presidential plane. It had an elevator that came diwn from t he belly of the plane to load Roosevelt in his wheelchair. It is on display at The museum at Wright Patterson AFB, near Dayton, Ohio.

Original Air Force 1

At the Museum of the US Air Force, located at Wright Patterson AFB near Dayton Ohio they have a Presidential Gallery of planes used by FDR, Truman, Ike and the plane that carried President Kennedy's body back from Dallas.
If you areever near Dayton, the museum is a must see for aviation buffs. Plan on spending several hours and doing a lot of walking. There are four buildings to tour. Recommend bringing a flash as the lighting is not the best for photography.

Courting White-tailed Kites

Trailnut wrote:

I hope these come out okay. I never posted photos here before. I didn't realize what the kites were doing until I looked closely at the images on my computer. They were courting! The images were shot with a Sony RX10-IV, 1/2000, f4, ISO 100-160, focal length 600mm.

Camera harnesses -- OpTech vs. Black Rapid

kb6kgx wrote:

Looking into getting a camera harness. I go out two camera and am tired of missing shots because I had to changes lenses. I know some guys who use OpTech and some who use Black Rapid. The Black Rapid is the more expensive, about three times as much. Does anyone have experience with either or both and can make recommendations?

Big fan of Black Rapid.
