I'm curious, what's the story behind this Porsche? Prototype car perhaps?

Nice ! I think I saw this one (B-25) coming home to SNA on Saturday evening. A great sight (and sound!) I'm guessing it's one of General Lyon's planes...


I'm mainly here for the snacks

pbrimages is correct, this is a 1949 Porsche 356/2 "Gmünd Coupe", one of the very first production vehicles badged as a Porsche. This one is owned by Jerry Seinfeld.

Thanks for the update. Most likely worth a ton of money.
If my memory is correct, Seinfeld has (or had) a large collection of Porsche cars. Some he sold off recently.

Speaking of cars, all you SoCal Hackers & Yackers remember that June 2nd is the...

Steve McQueen Car and Motorcycle Show 2018.

This year’s event is themed from the movie Bullitt and the 50th anniversary of the classic film.
There is some speculation on the net that the original Bullitt Mustang, or maybe Ford's new 2019 Bullitt
may be on display!

At the Chino air show yesterday flyers were being handed out for Steve's show. I expect large crowds.
If going, get there early.

Too bad they scheduled the event for the same weekend as the Huntington Beach Concours D’ Elegance.

Yeah, I hate when that happens. Never been to the Concours before but it looks great.

I really wanted to get a shot of the InSight launch but actually had to head out early for a different photo shoot :oops:

I use this website to keep track of Vandenberg launches: http://www.spacearchiv​e.info/vafbsked.htm (external link)

Looks like the next launch is May 19th at 1:03pm. Hmmm... Sounds like a good time to take a long lunch break just in case it's worth shooting :-)

...it’s a long shot but any of you know the two people selling a canon 600mm v1 on craigslist? one listing is from LA and the other listing is from the OC.

Hey Dave, thanks for sharing the link. It also explains viewing conditions and viewing locations - nice!

Moorea's Magic Mountain Viewpoint...

IMAGE LINK: https://flic.kr/p/24gA​761  (external link) Moorea's Magic Mountain (external link) by Air Butchie (external link), on Flickr

After an early morning ATV tour around the island of Moorea, the tour guide took us to the top of this place called Magic Mountain... This is just one of the views, high above Moorea island... The ocean below is Opunohu Bay, where vacationers zoom in-and-around with watercrafts (boats and jet ski's) and such... It was a perfect 'final stop' on our ATV tour!!! The beautiful tropical scenery from above were simply amazing... The image doesn't do it justice at all... 1DX + 16-35LII + Lee 105mm CPL and Lee 0.9 Soft Edge GND filter (stacked)... ISO 100, f/11 @ 1/80th sec...

:)
