Great cropping to make it seem as if the plane was in the air....and you too! Of course if I was very observant I would have noticed the open cockpit :-) CJ

No, just the front of the grand stands. This bird was waiting to take off. The roar of the 12 cylinder engine can not be described in words.

This is a great shot Kevin - now how did you get this shot? Were you in another plane? CJ

Nice shot mate:-)

isn't it dangerous to stand on the wing while flying? ;o))

I like how you caught to prop in this, Kevin. It really gives a good idea of the power of this plane. ~Sharon
