Today I was asked to take some photos for Ridge Air for marketing purposes. This company is based at Omaka.
We were to fly over to Woodbourne to get some shots of the aircraft on the tarmac and they also wanted the other views seen here.

Here is our ride.
VAD once belonged to Vincent and the aircraft has been upgraded since coming on line with Ridge Air.
It has flash new leather seats that are very comfortable, new avionics and has received some sound proofing in fact a reduction of 10 decibels has been achieved.



The office:



Final approach to Woodbourne:



Shut down:



This is a very nice plane which photographs well in conditions like this:





Pilot for the flights was Bill Larsen (left) and local Aero Club instructor Travis Tennant joined him:



The passengers then boarded:



Then we headed back to Omaka:



Here is an Air 2 Air taken late last year.
A good day out and nice to go along for a couple of rides without canopies or doors missing.
Have always liked the 402 very sleek and it doesnt take long to chop through the Omaka circuit.



Not sure if photos like these are of interest but thought I would post them anyway.

weet, i like pic 3, but is there really a point in flying rom Woodbourne to omaka?

The airline flies into Woodbourne a lot so it was important for them to get photos of the aircraft operating from Woodbourne and we have got photos of the aircraft operating from Omaka.
They are working on a website etc so want to give customers a good overview of services they offer.

Its only 2.6 nm from Omaka to Woodbourne in a straight line so a quick exercise but we did get a good look around as well.

where do they fly to ?

Love the contrast of the white plane against the stormy skies Gavin. Thanks for sharing those pics

Thanks for that, I blew out the white to give the effect and as it turned out the sky looks pretty angry as a result.

That's a very smart looking plane, nice photos Gavin.
