The Back Story:
After a Memorial Day 1995 tornado swept
through Great Barrington
Ma, and much of southern western MA, I had the opportunity to go up in a
small plane and view the devastation (which was quite sticking from the air)
with a pilot buddy of mine. Since the
speedway was only a stones throw as far as the crow flies from then tornado
alley, we took an aerial tour of Howie’s playground,
and I was able to snap off these unique pictures. Despite coming in to Pittsfield airport “a little hot”, our
mother ship landed safely, and I’m alive and well to share these pictures.
