Air-to-Air Academy

[Eric Belgium]

Hello to all,

When I post my air-to-air photos on the different wellknown photosites, Jetphotos included of course , I usually get a lot of email of other photographers asking me how I make this pictures and if there is a way for them to join me on photoflights. Last year we already flew with around 30 guestphotographers, and we had a lot of great fun in taking air-to-airs from the Yak-52, to the Mustang, to a 9-ship of Chipmunks or a Commander in a tight turn, from the Patrouille Suisse and the excitment of the jet fighters...actually I've been really spoiled in recent years .

For this year I started a big new project called " Air-to-Air Academy " with the aim of giving a lot of other photographers again the opportunity to fly with us for pictures. I do not know if I'm allowed to make some promotion here, but we have some informationpages on our website ericcoeckelberghs.com

Always welcome for a nice theoretical part - other photographers who have flown with jetteams, tankers etc sharing their experience , and of course the flying part with lots of lovely aircraft that will take part in the photoflying.

Greetz from Belgium, Eric

I saw your website already and I very interested in it. Maybe you can tell us more about the price etc. IŽd love to be on a lfight in the Skyvan.

I have flown a couple of times with Eric and his team. And I can say honestly: it's fantastic. It's not only the wonderful picture opportunities you get but also the whole experience. It's pretty exciting flying in an airplane with an open cargo door while strapped in a harnas!

Good luck with the Air-to-Air Academy Eric!

Roel.

This sounds like fun ! Are you able to accommodate someone weighing 21.5 stone ?

Yes we can , as long as safetyharnasses fit ( and they are very flexible ) there should be no problem.

Your promotion sounds good Eric! But when I heard about your prices last year I changed my mind.

I get the point of making money off of this and all, but I don't get it.

Basically you're giving people who don't/won't get the access to do this type of photography to open up a whole new world of services they can offer to clients and will have a portfolio to back it up...

Hi Eric,
I hope to head overseas to photograph some aircraft so will let you know when that happens as I would be keen if some of the top end stuff was behind the Skyvan.

Cheers
Gavin

Prices would also interest me.

Interesting. Have you ever thought about how much it costs to fly a Skyvan with several other aircraft lining up behind...? I think the price is justified.
Try to set something like this up on your own and I am sure it will cost you more.
