This is incredible Joe! The Joshua Tree adds such a nice touch. Great shot!

Is this the “Joshua says Go!” tree that I’ve seen before from Troy? Wonder redux on this!

Very cool – “Joshua Says Go” doesn’t have that insignia on it, but it’s same plane and tree.
30 November 2009, 11:29 amI wonder if they’ve used that section of the plane for another shoot.
Jon H:
I agree with Amy. This is an excellent shot. Always love/prefer natural illumination and this makes it show its best foot forward… or, rather, best leg forward.

Beautiful.

Thanks, everyone! The nose art was added between the first and second visits to the location in 2006-2007. I shot this setup on a previous visit, but never showed it because the framing wasn’t quite right and the star trails were short.
Check out this Ken Block vs. Ricky Carmichael Top Gear video on YouTube that features this plane:
