AzAP Photo Challenge #33: Wings of Gold (September 28th - November 23rd)

[Matt Ottosen]

The rules for this photo challenge are;

1.  The picture must be of an aircraft, or aircrafts, designed to be piloted by a naval aviator (A naval aviator is an officer qualified as a pilot in the United States Navy, United States Marine Corps, or United States Coast Guard).  To simplify this a little, what we are looking for is any United States Navy, United States Marine Corps, or United States Coast Guard aircraft.  This can be current, warbird, or static museum aircraft, and includes fixed wing, rotary wing, and tiltrotor aircraft.

2.  The photo must be taken during the challenge period.  The goal of the photo challenge is to get out and try something new, not to got through old pictures to find something that matches the theme.  Any photos posted that are taken outside of the challenge period will be deleted from the thread.

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

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

5.  All photos must be submitted to the Photo Challenge thread no later than 11:59pm Arizona (GMT-07) time on Sunday, November 23rd.  Voting will begin on November 24th and close December 1st.  Any photos posted after the deadline will be deleted from the thread and not eligible for consideration.

6.  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).

7.  Be safe and have fun!

Starting with Challenge #28: Sunrise/Sunset, and continuing in all future Challenge polls, you may vote for your own photo.
