It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Nowhere is this more true than in the photogenic pairing of the white and blue HondaJet and the red rock region of Utah. Keystone’s Jerry Osoro and Jeff Jerman recently piloted the HondaJet in close formation with world-renowned aviation photographer Paul Bowen. The results were spectacular, and the experience was a highlight of their shared HondaJet journey. Jeff Jerman summarized the experience:
The HondaJet photoshoot was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I felt very fortunate to be a part of Paul Bowen’s work. He’s a renowned aviation photographer, having completed countless photoshoots over the years; including over 1000 magazine covers involving aviation.
Our day began by heading south for sunset shots over the majestic shadows of Zion National Park. Mr. Bowen knew exactly where to lead the HondaJet to get that “it” picture. Seeing the chic curvatures of the Honda Over-the-Wing-Engine-Mounts (OTWEM) slicing through canyons only enhanced the natural beauty of Utah’s landscape. It was a sunset I’ll never forget.
We ended up at Lake Powell that evening for an early morning departure the following day. As we briefed over dinner, it was humbling to hear the many stories Paul spoiled us with. You see, this photoshoot ended up being more than just a photoshoot. Earlier in the day, many of us were saddened by the news that Bob Hoover had passed away. Paul was very close to Mr. Hoover. He told story after story of how inspiring Mr. Hoover was, including a few that had our stomach muscles hurting from laughter. It was truly a memorable evening.
Day 2 began bright and early for sunrise shots over Lake Powell. The still air was reminiscent of the glassy water beneath us. We followed Paul in his supercharged Bonanza, wondering how in the world we were actually getting paid to do this. We were cloud-surfing with no one around, as if we were the only bird in the sky. After 2 hours of making art trails, we headed north back to SLC. It was another HondaJet memory I’ll never forget.
