Plane Sight

|

It was a pretty cool idea for Father's Day. Give dad a flight on one of just two B-24 Liberators still flying. So photographer Danny Hurley went out to Texas' Addison Field to shoot the plane and the dads. He'd been taking pictures all morning when an Addison police officer approached him, pulled out his gun, and handcuffed him. Even though the plane's crew had radioed the tower to let them know he was supposed to be there, the officer detained him for standing on the tarmac. He eventually let him go, but not before telling him he'd committed a federal felony and should expect to hear from the Department of Homeland Security.
