  • My personal highlight of today's Max Power Airshow at Kennedy Space Center. Jared "Rook" Isaacman flying his Mig-29 Fulcrum (Callsign Ghost 1). 
It was my first time ever photographing a Mig-29 Fulcrum in flight. What amazing flying! If the second seat in the Mig is ever empty, I am volunteering ;-) 
I wish we could have faced the other direction at the Shuttle Landing Facility. The whole airshow was backlit. Maybe next year, we can flip the show around :-) Also super excited about #CapeWeek coming to the Space Coast in 2028.
