AzAP Photo Challenge #47: Rare or Oddity (August 21st - October 31st)

[Matt Ottosen]

The rules for this photo challenge are;

1.  The picture must be of an aircraft, or aircrafts, we don't normally see or things that are odd/weird in aviation here in the US.  This is not limited to any specific category of aircraft, all are welcome as long as they fit within the scope of the assignment.

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 Thursday, October 31st.  Voting will begin on November 1st and close November 7th.  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.
