Thanks Brent!
post your aviation shots!
- Thread starter AC016
- Start date
Headed right over me while I was out for a walk on the frozen lake...
Flying low over a white, frozen lake at high noon provided for some good reflected light on the bottom of the C-17:
As (bad) luck would have it, I only had my AF-S 35mm f/1.8G with me. Its fantastic sharpness allowed for the 100% crop in the photo above, though.
I like this shot but was disappointed that I didn't get a good sun star from the 35mm f/1.8G at f/8.
(I don't know how to post photos so you can click on them and see the full-size version...)

My own guess after a Google Image search is that you have captured a "Short SC.7 Skyvan".
Wikipedia says "It was popular with freight operators compared to other small aircraft because of its large rear door for loading and unloading freight." You can read about it here

Thanks. Didn't think to look at Wiki. "Flying Shoebox," indeed! That made me laugh.

Visited the Cavanaugh Flight Museum in Addison, TX yesterday. They have several hangars filled with vintage war birds representative of the WWI, WWII, Korea and Viet Nam eras.
Shot these with my D5600 and SIGMA 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM Contemporary lens.
Fokker D.VII
LINK Instrument Flight Trainer (circa 1929)
B25H Mitchell bomber
After restoration, original nose art applied by the original WWII artist
P51D Mustang

Thanks!
Nice! We have a wonderful aviation "museum" here in NY called the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome. You spend the morning wandering through the buildings, looking at incredible mostly-WWI-era airplanes. Then, in the afternoon, they roll out a bunch of them and put on an air show, complete with dogfights. It's incredible.

I can't locate my folder of photos from my visit there and only have a few images... :-(
Found one more photo...

Yep. Fellow comes by the lake every few weeks
It's been a while since I've shot r/c planes, boats or helicopters. Don't forget we have a remote control thread -

These are really nice shots. I had to look hard to determine they were remote control verse the real thing.
