Description

The thing that I find attractive about this plane is the way the engine sits in that egg-shaped opening in the front. .......... This is a Republic P-47. For those of you (like Rob) who absolutely HAVE to know everything there is to know about every plane in the world, you can click HERE to learn more about the P-47 in general. This plane is at the Flying Heritage Collection at Paine Field in Everett, Washington. It's airworthy, and is scheduled to fly three times this summer.

There is something so romantic about prop planes; leather helmets, silk scarves, Rita Hayworth. Wonderful capture and POV. It is indeed an attractive plane.

Isn't this "Tallahassee Lassie"? ...grin...I know it is. You've really done a remarkable job postworking this. I like the way you've muted the background and popped the plane forward just a bit. Nice job:)

LOL Well, thanks for that.. But its so true! Cool 'on the knees' shot of this great plane! Looks great, you have done a great job with dulling the background... I'll have to figure that but I don't think 'Elements' does it... Great shot.. Rob

Great photo! In 1972 I was at Keesler AFB in Biloxi, Miss. The Air Force was flying these huge fighters from the base constantly, as trainers... for Iranian fighter pilots!
