Thank you guys! I got lucky playing with manual settings. Ususally on cloudy day, sky looks way overexposed. Here Everything worked out just perfect.

Almost looks like your above the clouds looking down on a bombing mission.

Just a couple Cubs (My Favorite Plane).

The first is an older model H9 Cub being flown by my friend Charlie. The plane is marked "The Spirit of Stu Richmond" in honor of Stu, who passed away not long ago and was a regular at my flying field. The plane was originally Stu's. The second is a kit build Balsa USA Cub which is seen during the scale events. Not sure on the owner of that one.

Thank you Flyer! Can't take any credit for the photos though. Those were all staged and shot by Ken Young.

I probably need baggy pants to do the slow-shutter-pan thing... I ended up taking one lens and a few snapshots at Top Gun this year.

Ha! Nice shots! I remember watching that C-130 heading towards the end of the fence. I can't believe it didn't hit anything.

Hey Don,
Nice faux vintage pics!
Reminds me of early "Hollywoodland" Cinema - cir. 1919

Build a scale tail-stand and next time pose it in a profile,tail up,w/or without pilot like a factory photo. (bore-sighting the guns)

I always enjoy your "treatments" to your pics in an effort to comply with the spirit of the thread.

-Ken.
