What to do when the weather is perfect but the new sod hasn't yet arrived? Rain expected for the next few days and the client needs the photo of the new office by Monday.

Shooting private aircraft sounds glamorous and all, but in addition to cabin and exterior photography, they also needed service and maintenance shots. Turns out you need to replace the wheel brakes fairly frequently based on the number of landings (and other factors).
