ABOVE THE CLOUDS

Two airplanes from the GEICO skytypers fly into the clouds during the 2016 Fort Lauderdale Air Show at Fort Lauderdale Beach. The GEICO skytypers are a squadron of six SNJ-2 airplanes. The SNJ-2 is a WWII era vintage aircraft which was used by the United States Navy.

The sky typing that the GEICO aircraft create is 17 times faster than skywriting and produces a letter every four seconds in a dot-matrix pattern. The messages can be as tall as the Empire State Building and can extend up to 8 miles in length. They are visible up to 15 miles in any direction.When the GEICO skytypers aren't performing at air shows across the country, they can often be seen at events around the Northeast near the team�s home base at Republic Airport in Farmingdale, NY.

My name is Mark Andrew Thomas and I'm a photographer and filmmaker currently residing in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. I grew up in Florida right next to the Everglades and although I photograph a wide variety of subjects and locations, the Florida Everglades will always be my first love. In my career I've had the honor of working with the NatGeoWild Channel, Animal Planet, Discovery Science Network, ABC HD, and other worldwide media outlets. I hope you'll find something here that speaks to you and brings you joy, rekindles your sense of wonder, or brings back a great memory of a place you've been to. Thank you for visiting! ~ Mark Andrew Thomas
