The view: Tracy, CA, ramp
The photographer: Kim Hunter
The airplanes: “Sky View flight school” Skyhawks (recently washed)
The mission: Appreciating being on the ground
The memory: This photograph was taken just after a cold front associated with a low pressure system passed over the field. The system’s passage was preceded by a pulse of moisture with intense precipitation and a dramatic shift in wind. Twenty minutes later the leading edge of the front spawned a tornado – unusual in central California.
Nikon D3300, 70mm Lens, F/16, 1/160 s.

Kim Hunter is a 2000-hour commercial pilot. He learned to fly at an airport outside Detroit in the 1960's but was too young to solo. Soon thereafter, he shifted his financial priorities toward the fair sex and soloing got delayed by thirty years. Today he flies occasionally for business but mostly for pleasure. And, yes, he finally obtained an instrument rating.
