Although it is a stretch of the topic, "Things That Fly", these first two pictures, do have something to do with flight, that being the flight of a baseball.
On Friday of this week, not only did I get to photograph a bomber named for one of my childhood heroes, that being Brig. General Billy Mitchell, I also had the privilege to fly in the plane. This is probably the most exhilarating twenty minutes of my life, since Vietnam.
