We recently kicked off the brand-new Avergreen imprint with Part I of Jon Davison's four-part series on his Pilatus PC-12 air-to-air photo shoot in Tanzania. It makes for compelling reading, particularly as it is accompanied by Jon's breathtaking photography. | 🛩️ 🌲
Under African Skies
In this second part of Jon Davison's compelling series, he describes the rather delicate subject of getting to know those with whom he was going to be flying during the shoot.

Wow, has the entire month gone by already? However, with Halloween 🎃 just a couple of days away, it must have. In the final segment of his monthly column, @terencecgannon.com sheds light on this suitably Halloween-ish 👻 photo. It's a trick *and* a treat. (📸 James Woodard | Full Disc Aviation) | 🛩️ ⚔️
