I had a photo shoot at the Victorville Airport last weekend. The company paints airplanes. Big airplanes. This is a 747 for United Airlines that had just been completed. The last shot is of a new 777 waiting for paint.

It's not a shoot at the playboy mansion, but it was cool.



























These low res images are "For Position Only" (FPO). No retouching or color corrections have been applied.

Nice shots, you have a pretty cool job Burchie. Must be one expensive paint job. My little bro is a county firefigher in NM, their trucks have the same color paint that you see on the fire trucks at airports, he says that it's a $10,000 option. I can't imagine what it costs to paint a plane.

Hey, there was just a pilot's NOTAM for AirForce1 at Victorville. Guess they camo'ed AF1 as UA the Friendly Skies. Nice pix of the cover up.

Wow that's a lot of tape. You take good pictures Burchie, you should look into doing it for a living.

He'd have to stand too far from the camera and tripod.

I think he would become a tripod

I like to think more of a kick stand. I get tired of standing all the time. But enough about Matt.

It was cool to watch them paint. How they get lines down the side of the plane straight, I have no idea. I'll see if I can find out how much that paint job cost. Maybe they can fix my hood...
