Thank you Scott, I really enjoy a nice B&W so if I have a shot where the color is washed out, I look for contrast to see if B&W is a better choice.

Another excellent shot Harvey. You've had a good eye for this from early on. I always thought the early "A" version had the nicest lines. The larger horizontal tail surfaces introduced later weren't quite as well integrated as the original surfaces.

Thank you very much Scott, I have been enjoying aviation photography for many years. With the digital age it sparked a renewed enthusiasm and then meeting the great people of AzAP has really motivated me to improve and enjoy it even more.

Very cool shot Matt, I love it when there are clouds and humidity it adds a lot to aviation photos.

Thanks Harvey!  I have been getting really spoiled by clouds lately, in the future I may not even leave my home unless there are clouds outside.

Late afternoon departure.

That is a super shot Harvey! With the green crop and fall leaves it could pass for another place all together.

Two for the price of one!
