Several years ago, after getting a photographic kit together for the quality of photos he likes to obtain, Joe decided to visit aviation displays systematically and as frequently as he could manage. He made good use of Google Earth, Wikipedia, airliners.net and Google’s search engine. Joe researches using these tools and also uses Google Earth to record whatever he found in a KMZ file.  He is passionate for his subject as he enjoys seeing remarkable aircraft and pondering their history. He travels for aircraft viewing, photographing and sheer pleasure. As he says: "Travel allows me to experience how things are done by other peoples; try coffees, teas, beers, wines and food; see historic aircraft; visit museums; wonder at geology and geography; as well as to just get lost for a while."

Joe visited the NASFL Museum on June and Allan walked him around on a tour. You can read about his interview with Allan and see the photographs he took, on his travel blog: Travel for Aircraft
