Memphis Belle Flight

[dropcap]E[/dropcap]very now and then you get a pretty choice assignment. On this one I got a chance to take a media flight on a WWII-era B-17 bomber, The Movie Memphis Belle, over the skies of Fresno. The flight was pretty full with different media taking up the Liberty Foundation's offer of a 12-minute flight. But we were able to move around a little and even see the bombardier's seat in the nose of the plane. I shot a gallery and video for The Bee which was pretty good since it was only 12 minutes. The story got even better when one of those on board happen to be a local guy named Rudy who flew B-17s in the war and hadn't been on one since.

Garden of the Sun

[dropcap]H[/dropcap]ere's a few photos from a recent assignment at the Garden of the Sun in Fresno. It's a pretty cool place where people learn to be master gardeners or where master gardeners do demonstrations. There are lots of educational activities that go on but it's also just a nice place to relax and look at a lot of nice horticulture. Our story was a look at area places that are considered hidden gems. This is one of them.
