Rare

A rare event in a typical high school football game …. a field goal. Kearns’ Brock Whetman kicks it during last night’s 43-7 thumping of Taylorsville.

BMX Dirt

Colton Satterfield of Salt Lake City during his second run at the Dew Tour BMX Dirt heats, Friday, September 9, 2011. He was able to secure 5th place, and a spot in the finals.

Luke Parslow of Riverside, Australia flies over the crowd as he does a “Superman” at the start of his run in the Dew Tour BMX Dirt heats.

Mike Clark of Huntington Beach, CA jumps during his second run in the Dew Tour BMX Dirt heats. These are decent, and I’m happy to get em, but I’m sure Jeff Allred kicked my butt …..

SECRET Wendover Airfield tour

Assigned today to shoot a tour of some of the formerly secret areas at Wendover Airfield which played a huge role in the development and deployment of the atomic bombs that ended WWII.

As usual, when I get to see something that interests me, I take too many photos, but I hope they take you along for this first-of-it’s-kind tour:

Seen through a broken pane of glass in a dilapidated hangar, is an F-86 interceptor that is being restored.

The building where the super-secret Norden bombsights were stored after each training mission.

Near the tip of the east runway.

What the tour guides described as “The most important hole in the world”. The bomb pit where the training bombs were loaded into the B-29s making test runs in preparation for the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing runs.

A T-33 flies around the place as we tour …..

… Vintage tourbus …

Closing up the heavy door of Bomb Storage Bunker 49 that held the munitions …

Peering into one of the rooms that were basically huge safes with thick doors that held the super-secret Norden bomb sights.

Hope you enjoyed the tour ….. forgot to photograph the Subway sandwiches they served.
