There is no other name more synonymous with the sport of ProRodeo than Trevor Brazile. Winner of a record breaking 26 world champion titles in four separate categories — Team Roping, Tie Down Roping, Steer Roping and All Around — the Texas cowboy seemed to forever be at the top of the game. Inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame on July 16, 2022, I had the opportunity to have a conversation with Trevor behind the scenes before he received his buckle and statue and before he gave his acceptance speech. The Q&A and some photography of mine of Trevor Brazile in action and also at the ProRodeo Hall of Fame induction ceremony have been published by The Fence Post magazine.

Trevor Brazile was 10 years into his incredible rodeo career and already piling up world titles and big wins, including this Tie Down Roping winning effort during the short go of the historic 100th National Western Stock Show in 2006. Image by Lincoln Rogers – All rights reserved.

My latest article with photography has been published. It incorporates the USAF Thunderbirds images I have been posting, along with more photos from the Wings Over Warren flying demonstration and Thunderbirds practice, plus interviews with Thunderbirds officers and the Cheyenne Frontier Days general chairman. I have to say, I loved putting this story together.

The world famous USAF Thunderbirds perform an iconic Delta Burst formation and maneuver near the conclusion of the 2022 Wings Over Warren air show at the F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, WY. The air show held in conjunction with the historic Cheyenne Frontier Days was the site of the Thunderbirds’ first public air show in 1953 and they have rarely missed an opportunity to be in the air show since.

I have finished my story and photos for publication on the USAF Thunderbirds and Cheyenne Frontier Days and how the two have a shared history and respect between them. That should be published soon. In the meantime, I wanted to get a few more Thunderbirds photos put on this blog! I had a very good time photographing and interviewing. Many thanks to the Public Affairs personnel for both the USAF Thunderbirds and F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, WY. They made it a pleasure.

Almost creating the appearance of a single, long aircraft, the USAF Thunderbirds fly a long sequence in extremely close formation across the sky during the 2022 Wings Over Warren air show at the F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, WY on July 27, 2022. Image by Lincoln Rogers, 2022

A high speed, close proximity flyby maneuver is demonstrated by two USAF Thunderbirds pilots during a practice session in preparation for the 2022 Wings Over Warren an air show at the F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming. Showing the extreme flight speed, as well as the skill required for this maneuver, the track and pan photography method of shooting this image shows one of the F-16 Fighting Falcons (foreground) to be stopped and sharp, while the other (background) is displaying movement and action blur from the speed and sideways roll.

Practicing for the upcoming 2022 Wings Over Warren air show held annually in conjunction with Cheyenne Frontier Days, a quartet of USAF Thunderbirds F-16 Fighting Falcons fly across the sky in a formation so close to each other that it appears to be just two extra-long jets in the sky.

A formation of five f-16 Fighting Falcons piloted by the USAF Thunderbirds team soars out of the clouds like they were born from them as the elite Air Force pilots practiced maneuvers in preparation for the upcoming 2022 Wings Over Warren air show in Wyoming on July 27, 2022.

One of the chief goals of the USAF Thunderbirds demonstration squadron is to inspire. Well… mission accomplished. I was inspired.
