Airshow, originally uploaded by erictwright.

I know it seems silly, but I have a thing for airplanes. I love to fly. I even earned my aviation merit-badge and flew in a Cessna 172. I love to fly for assignments or really any occasion.

I think i figured out what makes me like this frame, aside from all the serendipity + hard work that it took to make it. I like the scale, these guys from the food-bank are just dwarfed by the still smoldering wreckage of the warehouse.
