Description

We spent this past Sunday at a Fly-In in Arlington, Washington. Photographic opportunities were everywhere. For those of you who are not familiar with such an event, think of a huge, friendly picnic on a scenic, country-side airport (not a big, crowded jet port). Hundreds of small planes "fly-in" for 4-5 days of festivities...there are daily air shows, displays of planes of all types and sizes (from what may look like motorized flying lawn chairs to spectacular antique aircraft), lots of camping (tents, trailers, motorhomes), loads of story-telling and camaraderie among all. The airplane in this photo (a historic WWII B-25D Mitchell named "Grumpy") is turning onto final approach for a high speed pass over the runway to delight the crowd...the sights and the sounds are irresistible attractions for all us kids...young and old:-))) Bill:) I invite you to zoom in for a closer look. "Colorful Corner"

Sounds like a wonderful day out! I've only been to airshows where the attraction of the planes was mitigated (for me) by the concrete and heat. I love the cool blue of this image! This is what I think of when I think of the magic of flight. Alone in a blue wonderland. I've only done so in my imagination, but this fits perfectly. Beautiful background and excellent capture!
