Air-to-Air Adventures with Paul Bowen: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Aviation Experience

Air-to-Air Adventures turns the dream of photographing your aircraft in flight into an unforgettable reality. Aviation is one of the most visually stunning industries, and now, thanks to legendary photographer Paul Bowen, aircraft owners and enthusiasts can capture their planes in dramatic skies—sunset-lit, cloud-layered, or cruising above rugged landscapes.

What Makes Air-to-Air Adventures Unique?

With over 37 years of experience, Paul Bowen is a name synonymous with world-class aerial photography. His work has graced more than 1,000 magazine covers, advertising campaigns, and four aviation coffee-table books. Bowen’s clients include Bombardier, FalconJet, Gulfstream, Embraer, and Cessna.

Through Air-to-Air Adventures, he now offers pilots and aircraft owners the chance to have their planes professionally photographed in formation flight—from the seat of a historic B-25 Mitchell bomber.

For those seeking bespoke aviation experiences, Jet Advisors offers private aviation consulting and Jet Advisors Membership for personalized planning.

The Passion Behind Air-to-Air Adventures

What inspired Bowen to launch Air-to-Air Adventures? A passion for aviation and the people who fly.

“I’ve been doing aviation photography for over 35 years. Now that I’m in my sixties and the people I’ve photographed are retiring, I realized they often credit the air-to-air shoot as the highlight of their careers.”

This sentiment drives Paul to give others that same powerful moment—a memory captured in flight.

How the Air-to-Air Adventures Flight Session Works

The experience is carefully choreographed. Paul directs the subject aircraft from the tail gunner’s seat of the B-25 using a headset, microphone, and hand signals. Flying in close formation, he captures breathtaking in-flight images that reflect both artistry and precision.

Each session includes:

– A 30-minute ride in the B-25
– A pre-flight briefing
– A 90-minute in-air photo shoot
– Optional ground and interior photography (if time allows)

Paul’s signature style—highlighting wingtip vortices and dramatic sky contrast—brings each aircraft’s presence to life.

What the Air-to-Air Adventures Experience Includes

Air to Air Adventures offers more than just incredible photographs—it’s a full aviation experience. The package includes a 30-minute ride in the B-25, a pre-flight briefing, and a 90-minute air-to-air photo session. When time permits, Paul also offers ground and interior photography.

Although the experience is based in Southern California (thanks to its consistently beautiful weather), it can be arranged in other regions across the U.S. With his method honed over decades, Paul ensures every flight is both safe and unforgettable.

Stepping Into History: The B-25

Paul explains the unique historical element of the experience:

“Part of the experience is stepping back in history when you step into the B-25.”

Not only do clients get to fly in this iconic WWII-era bomber—they often get the rare opportunity to take the controls.

“Businessmen have an opportunity to experience history and also have the end product of a unique picture of their aircraft.”

What’s Included in the Air to Air Adventures Experience

Each participant receives a curated collection of aviation memories, including:

– A DVD containing digital images from the shoot
– Four 24×36 photographic prints, ready for framing
– Four personalized coffee-table books documenting the experience
– Air to Air Adventures logo wear and memorabilia

Of course, the most valuable takeaway is the memory itself—a moment in time captured forever in flight.
