Do note that Aviation PhotoCrew does NOT offer passengerflights or pleasure rides! You have to be an aviation photographer in order to fly with us under the part SPO regulations ( PAS OM-A 8.3.1.5.5 Task Specialist for Aerial Photography ). In UK airspace we fly under UK Air Ops Regulation.

You will receive multiple mandatory briefings and a specific tasking for the photoflight. You have to strictly comply with the responsabilities as described for the task specialist in the preparation briefings. It is important that you act and behave like a responsible crewmember on any photoflight!

In addition, you will have to follow strictly the guidelines of the ‘flight operations manual’ from the photoship. No matter how much experience you have, these guidelines will be explained before every single photomission again, and it is mandatory to attend this briefing.

It is equally important that you confirm by email that you have received the detailed task specialist briefings ( part 1 and part 2 ) and that you understand the content. You will receive additional training/recurrent training if any of the guidelines and information is not fully understood.

For one last time the Skyvan photoship flew to Danish airspace to catch the former prime bird of the Danish Air Force, the F-16 Fighting Falcon.

The days of the jet are certainly numbered, as they will go out of service fairly soon. The biggest wish of the photographers was to see the special painted demo jet ‘Half Century’.

This is the second year we flew the Skyvan photoship for all the aerial fun in Florida. We’ve learned a lot from last year, and so our preparation for this edition went super smooth. To be fully flexible we operated the photoship out of Bartow, an amazing place with amazing people!! AND the restaurant was back open, so nobody had to starve.

We were blessed with 5 days of fantastic flying weather, only the mornings were plagued a bit by fog but once that was cleared we were all ready to go. And ready we were as an incredible schedule was awaiting us.

What are the odds in 2025 to see a réal flying Starfighter…?

With the great help of Cyrill Wipfli, Starfighters Inc Boss Rick ‘Comrade’ Svetkoff and famous F-104 pilot Piercarlo Ciacchi we put a plan together to make it possible to see THE legendary Starfighter in the air!! So we’re able to offer one of the ‘coolest beans’ in any project we will fly this year right away!

Pacific Airshow will be remembered unfortunately for the biggest aerial event with all the bad luck in the world… 4 days in a row. Situated along the coast not far from Los Angeles, it’s not unusual to have the marine fog layer coming in but normally it clears off by 10am… not this time, and so most of the airshow itself could not take place.

We were very privileged that ‘up there’ we could enjoy a perfect blue sky and dozens of incredible aircraft to join us for our annual Hollywood style extravaganza.

The Sanicole International Airshow 2024 had it all – again!

For the visitors from around the world it’s a wealth like you can only find with the bigger European airshows, with a program each year that can easily compete with the biggest airshows out there.

Athens Flying Week is simply next NEXT level when it comes to aviation photography. Even when you go to the airshow – sun in your back all day – or as a spotter, this week in Greece has so much to offer for the die-hard aviation enthusiast.

We can no longer be humble, as this is really one of that absolute highlight on our calendar, every year again. This is the sixth time we flew the Skyvan photoship to Tanagra airbase for a week of five star extravaganza and seeing dreams coming true.

When aviation photographers from around the world travel to Greece to fly with us onboard the Skyvan photoship, they have that 1 big wish… to see an F-4 Phantom flying in real life!

The Hellenic Air Force is one of the last to still operate the iconic ‘unicorn’ jet, with 338 Sqn based at Andravida. With the superb relation we enjoy with the Hellenic HQ for many years, and with the help of our friends in the Athens Flying Week team, we requested for this year the opportunity to add an extra photoflying day, dedicated to the F-4.

The Airpower airshow in Austria does not happen every year, nor is it a solid bi-annual event. The ‘GO’ depends on many factors, and so aviation enthusiasts from around the world were thrilled to learn that in September of 2024 the gates would go wide open again for the huge FREE event.

For the photographers onboard the Skyvan photoship, it is three days of intense photoflying with opportunities like you don’t get anywhere in the world. Our Aviation PhotoCrew as fortunate and privileged to celebrate our third close corporation with the Austrian Air Force.

The excitement of an aviation lifetime!!!

Our crew was in Canada to fly for the Abbotsford International Airshow, producing again a super successful project with too many highlights to count. And of course the ‘cool beans’ like the Snowbirds, A-10 and F-22 Raptor.We knew of course that the famous Martin ‘Hawaii’ Mars was about to make its final flight around the same timeframe. But due to a number of challenges around the flight ( weather & mechanical being the prime suspects as usual ) the date was very uncertain.

Last year we flew the Skyvan photoship for the first time in Canada, for the famous Abbotsford International Airshow. It was a spectacular experience and the project became easily THE best of the entire 2024 season! Could we do that again…?

All the photographers joining us in the Skyvan came with sky-high expectations, so the pressure was on right away! But also right away there, fantastic weather for all the 4 days of flying. The majestic Mount Baker played a prominent role in the scenery by showing itself in an awesome way.
