Besides Sean D. Tucker's custom biplane, there was another Oracle-sponsored plane at the show, and I'm not sure who was flying it.
This came late in the day and by that time, I thought I had enough number of sharp images, so I decided to drop down the shutter speed again, and go for propeller motion look, even if it meant I lost some sharpness.
I actually got some sharp images nevertheless, with propeller blur. So 1/250s worked quite well.

Discover a real magic spot.
First mystery: Along the road, we will see hundreds of pinnacles made of huge rocks stacked up with an incredible regularity, just as if someone had played with these huge stones. Local people consider these vestiges the old houses of their gods.
Another mystery: a deep fissure on the side of the highest mountain hosts an oracle. One goes there on a pilgrimage, but in order to go in, it is necessary to be accompanied by holy men who come to practice rites and perform sacrifices. Every wish can come true thanks to the oracle of Tongo.
Under the spiritual protection of the oracle, the Talensi live there as a united clan: Their typical fortified houses can host up to 60 people and are made of mud and wood. They look like mazes surrounded by walls which can be entered through only one door. Narrow corridors, small stairways, covered hallways, oval rooms and their terraces all make a harmonious dwelling of a great beauty.
I found this original 1960's version Ouija (wee-gee or we-ja) Board that belonged to my grandmother as I was going through old boxes from her estate. I have fond, yet creepy, memories of playing with this as a youngster.
I still have the now crumbling original box that proclaims on the back:
"OUIJA talking board set gives you entertainment you have never experienced. It draws the two people using it into close companionship and weaves them a feeling of mysterious isoloation. Unquestionably the most fascinating entertainment for modern people and modern life."
That's right...modern 1960-something life.
It looks like the mast is canted to the rear, and it is, a little. But it is really canted to the left quite a bit.
That mast (there are two of them) is about 5 feet from front to back and hollow. Big enough for a man to transit from one end to the other inside the mast. 100% carbon composite. It is always canted to windward and when the boat tacks, the mast cants to the leeward side (which will become the new windward side), the mast tip travels over 45 feet (or 16 degrees) being it is 158 feet high.

The concept for this shoot was a modern-day Oracle.
A mysterious young woman who lives in an abandoned building, receiving her guests and telling them their futures- for a price.
The gorgeous model, Rachel Lee, did a wonderful job at embodying the character through grace and fierceness. This was my most gratifying (and sweaty) shoot yet and I couldn't be more happy about the pictures.

The Oracle Challenger bi-plane flown by Sean Tucker put on quite the performance at the 2008 Joint Services Open House airshow at Andrews AFB. No other plane came close to the stunts and maneuvers that this plane performed. All throughout the show the pilot narrated his own maneuvers. Not sure how he did that given all the Gs that he must have been pulling.
