ANYTIME, BABY! is his fifth coffee table book since 1997. His previous works are BLUE WATER OPS, FRONT ROW CENTER, HERITAGE FLIGHT and FRONT ROW CENTER 2.
HILDEBRANDT is an accomplished aerial documentary cameraman and aerial coordinator specializing in the unique requirements of military operations. His credits include original productions for DISCOVERY'S MILITARY CHANNEL: RED OCTOBER and GREATEST EVER: FIGHTERS. In addition, he has filmed airborne F-14 carrier operations for FOX SPORTS.
For ANYTIME, BABY!, ERIK employed a variety of camera platforms to capture the remarkable compositions found in this book. The slide show on the left has a few key images and reveals some of the techniques HILDEBRANDT uses including the tail gunner position of the B-25 "Panchito", the open ramp of the Rhode Island ANG C-130J as well as the back seat of multiple F-14 Tomcat sorties.
Without these kind and generous pilots and owners, this book would not have been possible.
