With a number of different uniforms and accessories, he tries to bring out interesting views and combination's.
In flight, or static, Miguel works to bring out the best.

Mi-24D Bord 118 Photo Gallery
Last weekend the Cold War Air Museum finally got the chance to take up our newly-certified Mi-24D Hind helicopter for some air-to-air photos.
The pictures speak for themselves... many thanks to Miguel for the camera and Photoshop work to produce such beautiful pictures. The entire set of 190 photos can be found on Miguel's Flickr stream.

More Miguel's MiG Models
Miguel, photographer and museum associate, has used the aircraft at the Cold War Air Museum as a backdrop for his work before. Our cold war era aircraft, equipment and uniforms help accent his work.
This Saturday he photographed Sarah, a professional model from the DFW area who was excited to augment her portfolio with something more unusual.
The weather was freezing, the wind was blowing, but Sarah was a real trooper. Here she is posing with one of the museum's L-39s in a cold war era uniform.
Always the professional, it's hard to tell from this photograph that she was mere moments away from becoming an ice sculpture.
Inside, Sean and Rene were able to locate some heaters and Miguel got these terrific shots with the Mi-2 helicopter and MiG-23 supersonic interceptor.
As the MiG is undergoing restoration it was possible to put Sarah in the front seat of the Sparka and let her light up the caution and warning panel without fear of her setting off the pyrotechnic charges that would normally be part of the ejection seat. The result was this very unusual photo of Sarah and the "christMiG tree" lights.

Soviet Big Iron Saturday
A "flying" museum, like the Cold War Air Museum must exercise their aircraft, or at least the engines and systems on a regular basis.
Saturday was a work day for our many volunteers and supporters. A number of aircraft were brought out for engine start and exercise.
Starting the Mi-24 can be exciting. The aptly named Saphir APU has a tendency to blow out any excess fuel during its start cycle. The sight and sound is impressive. Once again, our thanks go to Miguel for this outstanding picture. This picture and a number of others can be found as a desktop display on the "wallpapers" page at the museum main web site.
Fuel sales for the "big iron" help support the airport.
Visitors commented that it felt like they were on a Soviet air base. For a short time Saturday, that feeling was understandable.
The MiG-23 is still undergoing restoration while the L-39's at the museum fly regularly.
With local and world-wide coverage from our web sites, we often gain new associates. One of our new associates is a former Russian pilot and MiG-23 instructor who is currently employed at a major flight training center at DFW. He is a big help with systems knowledge and practical experience in the MiG-23.
Vadim and Jon debrief their MiG-23 taxi test.
The MiG-23 looks like it's going supersonic, just standing still.
The massive R27-F2M engine in the MiG-23 makes a wonderful, unmistakable howl as the power comes on.
No Mud Today! Just lots of happy noise from turbines turning and burning, consuming Jet-A.

MiGs, Mils and Models
Miguel Relayze from Lima, Peru, recently visited the Cold War Air Museum and decided to schedule a photo shoot with us.
Miguel works for American Airlines and enjoys photography. His work at the museum will be posted soon on his pages at Pbase and Flikr. While he was taking pictures with his professional grade equipment, he and the models graciously allowed us to take some snapshots to share on our museum website. Thank you Miguel and Ladies, you are certainly welcome back anytime!
Our first job was cordoning off the restrooms for use as dressing and makeup rooms. Marie helped the ladies and kept them fresh during the session that lasted into the night.
With the temperature outside hovering at +5 Celsius (we consider that cold in Texas) and the dew point the same, it was good flying weather only for Ducks and Helicopters. The Mi-2 was unable to blow the crud away, so the ground crew fired up the heaters in the hangers to keep the models warm (or at least not as cold).
The ladies brought a number of outfits and we furnished some hats and other items to use as props, but when the photographer called for one more prop, the best we could do was offer Jon. Surrounded by Marinda, Rashell and Leslie, Jon appears afraid to move. We know this museum work is tough, but someone has to do it. We are accepting applications for more volunteers, in case anyone is interested.
The ladies were totally professional about their work. But because I was simply taking snapshots, I was able to catch some fun and funny moments with them. I did note some things that, as our society becomes truly egalitarian, desperately need to be passed on to aircraft and flight equipment designers. (#1) Aircraft steps and control pedals need to be redesigned to accommodate high heels (#2) More variety needs to be offered in flight boots, including heels and more choice of colors and stripes and oh yes, (#3) A good flight helmet should NOT mess up your hair.
All kidding aside, we wish to thank Miguel, Marie, Rashell, Leslie and Marinda for visiting and allowing us to share some snapshots with our on-line visitors. The additional snapshots below do not do full justice to these lovely ladies and Miguel's work. Please visit his page at Flikr for his processed pics from this shoot. Shots from the museum will be posted after he has time to process them.
