Dude the weather is still like 73 degrees here in CC. Would have been a wonderful day to visit that area around the Lex.

tragic story, but a beautiful plane. Your pov makes it a big squat beast. I love the tilt too. It has real presence...and your got the wing lined up with the beach and with the line of the water. Really well caught, Richard.

The Essex class Lexington! It was finally decommissioned in the 90's. Great shot of the aircraft, unfotunate event for the pilot and his family.
