Description
Michael O'Leary (pictured on back seat of a California Air National Guard T-Bird) is employed as an editor for a San Francisco-based group of aviation magazines. To create Shooting Stars, he has assembled an extensive file of aircraft photographs, visiting several of the units still flying the classic T-Bird.
Aerial photographs in this volume were produced with Nikon cameras and Kodachrome K25 and K64 film.
Special thanks are due to the many individuals who helped make this classic jet trainer possible: the late Ian Patrick, Captain Rodney Skidmore, Martin Baggeley, the men of the California and the Oregon Air National Guard, Captain Sally Morger, and the late Mac Short.
