A great opportunity here folks. A strobist photo shoot at the Aero Country Airport - T31 - A privately owned public use airport located between Frisco and McKinney in the North Dallas Texas Metroplex. A friend of mine has his WWII T-6 there and offered up his hanger (after I asked), aircraft and those of his neighbors.
We will have access to a couple of hangars, with a ton of east facing ramp space, a show stopping Stearman, Harvard, Husky and Bonanza, one ugly, unpainted T-6 and another nicer looking one, and a Bell 47 helicopter and possibly a polished P-51 Mustang. As if the aircraft weren't enough we'll have access to a collection of classic cars.
I will work on getting several models, male and female, make-up artists and hair stylists for this shoot. Pin-up, grunge, nose-art style photography are all possible. If you know any of the above, please have them contact me. If you have any antique aviation or motorcar clothing or other period props, please contact me.
If models ain't your thing the cars and aircraft should be an interesting lighting challenge.
Please remember to label all your gear, the security of your equipment is solely your responsibility.
Additional details as they become available.
This meetup will start at 1pm and go until we're done - most likely at dusk.
250 members!
This group has great potential for learning and socializing with other strobists but we need your help in making suggestions and participating in the discussions and events.

I've had 14 models and a couple of MUAs respond to my casting call in less than 24 hours. Should be interesting.

We have a confirmed hair stylist and two special effect techs from Tyler Junior College's theater dept.
I uploaded a few images from our pre-shoot visit ~ You can view them in the Photos section. This is a rare opportunity to shoot with some vintage war-birds and classic/antique automobiles!
As of now, we have 12 models (3 males and 9 females), 2 MUAs, a hair stylist and two special effects techs 'committed' to attending this event.
Should be an interesting shoot. More this weekend.

The Bell 47 helicopter was sold and will not be available for the shoot.
Detail email went out this morning. Model list available - email me.
The car guy for the shoot has asked his friend to bring his a Corvette Indy Pace car to add to the mix.
The attendee list is finalized. Further deatils, if any, will be emailed out this evening.
This morning is 29 degrees and its only gonna get to about 55 degrees through the day so bring blankets and other such warming items.
