Episode #45 – Ross Franquemont takes us on a journey to the edge of space…and back – Part 2

Ross was a United States Air Force U-2 pilot, is a fairly new airline pilot, definitely one helluva photographer, and for sure a badass Dad! Ross gets into all the details of a typical (UNCLASSIFIED) U-2 sortie (and by all the details I mean ALL of the DETAILS…like how does one relieve thine self…). The fellas talk new hire airline stuff, chat about life as fledgling professional photographer, and how it all mixes together. Come along for a ride like no other in this two part series as we strap on our space suits for a ride above FL600.

Have you ever seen the Northern Lights from double the cruising height of an A320? Ever flown through an eclipse above 60’000+ feet? I thought so. Check these shots and many more out at https://extremerossphotography.smugmug.com.
