For the past two years, while the sun was setting on the iconic F-14 Tomcat, aviation photographer and author Erik Hildebrandt has been capturing the final defining moments of the few remaining F-14 squadrons in the US Navy Fighter community. Anytime, Baby! is an unforgettable collection of final-phase Tomcat milestones captured and preserved forever in some of the most detailed and dynamic photographic compositions Hildebrandt has ever attempted. From riding along with VF-211, the last squadron to ever fly the F-14A, to flying with VF-32 on the last deployment of the F-14B in the Arabian Gulf in 2005, Hildebrandt has been witness to the end of an era. Anytime, Baby! is an important historic record as much as it is an artistic and beautiful tribute to the most popular American fighter in history. A true "must-have" addition for the aviation enthusiasts as well as former and current Navy and Marine Corp service personnel. |
Erik Hildebrandt has established himself as one of America's premier producers of world class aviation imagery. Far more than simply pictures of planes, Erik's photographs are an illustrious combination of natural light, atmospheric conditions, and, of course, men and machines. His knowledge of each aircraft, passion for flight, and attention to safety affords Erik the trust and respect of his subjects that is critical to capturing such magical and amazing images. |
