Threw vigorous testing we have determined that airport wheelchairs don't hold up when it comes to high speed maneuvers . And by the looks of it neither does Jane !
hahahahaha! I knew it there was a crash in their future when I saw yesterday's post...hopefully no one was seriously injured! Great shot Fred!

@Jen: Warning : Don't try this at home ! These stunts were preformed by highly trained professionals and any attempt to re-enact these scenes may result in serious injury or even death .
a hard test drive eh? :-)

@emarquetti: I could have sworn that someone was making loud engine noises as they tore off down the hall.
what a great story your pictures tell!

@michele: Ahh thanks, I take credit for the story telling and presentation but Hillary ( who may post here as Bullseye ) commandeered my camera. All of the shots in this series are hers .
Though I will accept a pat on the back for processing or commentary haha !
magnifique!

@objectif-plume: Thanks !
Looks like you guys were having a lot of fun. That is the right attitude to do any photography. Good work

@Shawna: Well come to think of it , even though the plane flight was delayed ( and eventually canceled ) it was a good time. Not your ordinary Thursday evening that's for sure !
FABULOUS capture Fred! How did you rate the crash - from here it looks about a 9.6!!!!
15 Mar 2007 1:57pm
@Jerry: 8.8 for form and 2.7 on the ricketier scale !
Great shot! :)

Oh no!!! Too funny!!!
You youngsters are such trouble makers!!!
Now I NEVER would have behaved like that when I was a kid... ;o)

@Laurie: Umm well I was with the youngsters ... I'm not sure I could still be classified as one being born in 1963 and all . But hey thanks , that was almost as good as getting carded at the local tavern !
LOL! Very funny shot!

@Myst: Glad you like it. Thanks !
That's such a genuine moment! love it. And thanks - I was wondering who Bullseye was. You people sure are priceless :)

@Carol: What can I say ? It passes the time. Stay tuned , more to come !
Well this seems to be a popular series. I'm glad other people are enjoying it as much as we did. I'm interested as to what picture you'll put up next. I think I have an idea...

@Bullseye: It's like the never ending story lol
At your age you should be ashamed of yourself, encouraging these young whipper snappers like that!!! (er...that was my mother speaking, she's just jumped out of my body and back to her house) - Enjoying this series a LOT! I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves, but am I ever worried about what airport security are going to do with you!

@Bronnie: We've found that there is no such thing as airport security at night ! Trust me I was looking for it, we needed answers as to when her flight was leaving and there was no one to be found , well that is on our side of the metal detectors that is .
It was like two different worlds, on one side desolation and emptiness , but if you were a ticket holder and had a boarding pass ready to show you'd be allowed to cross the line into an area filled with coffee shops , lounges and quaint little stores run by nice people with smiling faces .
I can only ask, if you were on the security team..Which side of the line would you be on ? I know those guys weren't on ours . And unless they were bringing a sack full of bagels , a full carafe of fresh hot coffee and some warm fluffy pillows for us they were better off staying there !
I'm glad your enjoying the series, I'm working on the next instalment in another window right now.
nice one

@Sidonie: It was fun being there believe it or not .
hehe very vintage look with this, the models and black and white. natural expression captured too

@Marwan: Thanks.. it was just teenagers running ramped in a deserted airport .
Brilliant storytelling. Running amuck is such a joy when you're that age. And you were privileged, Fred, to be allowed into that world!
17 Mar 2007 3:35pm
@Damon Schreiber: Haha , amuck might be a strong description...wait a second they did bust up airport property didn't they ?
Doesn't look like she got hurt, that's always good. I wish I could have seen it when it happened. Surprised you could stop laughing long enough to take the picture!

@DTW: Jane is a pretty tough girl, she's cute and can take a rough ride ! ( nothing with wheels that wasn't chained down was safe ) We had a blast !
