Airshows
Attending different events all over the United States, I was able to photograph very rare aircraft in the aerobatic demonstrations. As a lifelong military child, aviation has been around me my whole life and my dream is to be a commercial pilot in the near future. These airshows give me the opportunity to explore my dreams and make connections with people that I look up to and admire.
