The rules for this photo challenge are;

1.  This month's theme is "American Made"  The picture should be taken of any American made aircraft (military, commercial, or general aviation). ONLY PHOTOS TAKEN BETWEEN FEBRUARY 20th and MARCH 20th WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR CONSIDERATION.  Please keep this in mind.

2.  One photo per member (you can change your photo as many times as you like until the deadline).

3.  Photos should be uploaded directly to the "Photo Challenge" thread for the current contest (this thread).

4.  All photos must be submitted to the Photo Challenge thread no later than 11:59pm Arizona (GMT-07) time on March 20th.  Voting will begin on March 21st and close March 28th.  Any photos posted after the deadline will be deleted from the thread and not eligible for consideration.  You can only vote for one photo and it cannot be your own.

5.  The winning photographer will select the theme for the next assignment.  Keep in mind that assignments that are aircraft- or airport-specific may limit the ability of other members to participate.

6.  Have fun!

When you say Aircraft and American made, you say Boeing, when you say Boeing you say Seattle and think rain.
"You don't become a professional simply by earning certificates, adding ratings, or getting a paycheck for flying. Rather, professionalism is a mindset. It comes from having the attitude, the ethics, and the discipline to do the right thing — every time, all the time, regardless of who's watching."

You don't concentrate on risks. You concentrate on results. No risk is too great to prevent the necessary job from getting done.

Congratulations to Paul Dumm.  His picture of Sentimental Journey (Boeing B-17) at Falcon Field on a rainy day won the voting.
