What do you do when flying to great recreational destinations is just not enough? For some the answer is to pick up a camera and capture those moments and views to share with others.
Yesterday, we lost a grand master of aviation photography Jim Wark.
For over 20 years Jim provided a view of our country from high above, piloting his Husky from coast to coast with an eye that could see things of interest you or I might never notice.
The stories he shared of logging well over 8,000 hours singlehanded flying and capturing photos, were filled with joy at experiencing the beauty of our land, sadness at the sight of both natural and human destruction and at least once the fear of descending through clouds into mountainous terrain after loss of an engine.
