have always wanted to capture a big plane landing but could never be there at the right time or having the wind blowing in the right direction. The low clouds helps bring the plane closer than usual….i could almost touch it….hahhah. To see a hugh metal flying over you at approx. 200kph is…...priceless. The jetfuel, the noise…...Perfect. I am NOT a plane enthusiast , but it is fascinating to watch. Sydney “Kingsford Smith” Airport Boeing 747 landing train plane truck car chair Transportation

My son turned to watch in disbelief and amazement as his toy plane actually took flight in the living room. After grazing my head it eventually crashed and burned near the end table. Both have been grounded ever since…. This is straight out of the camera. Nothing is attached to the airplane. The secret to the shot lies in the EXIF data which I have provided below.

If you’re wondering what this shot depicts, I’ll give you a clue. It’s metallic, as you can see from the rivets along the silver portion. Need another clue? The object is very uplifting! And the third and final clue – this shot was taken at the Australian International Air Show at Avalon Airport in 2007. It’s simply a winglet – the upswept portion of an aircraft wingtip. I had a rare opportunity to stand directly under the port wing of a Qantas Boeing 737 to shoot the graceful, sweeping curve against a clearing sky. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F8, 1/250 sec, ISO 200, focal length 38mm AvalonAirShow2007-7795

This is not the Boeing B-17F Flying Fortress ‘Memphis Belle’. / This is the Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress ‘Sally B’ Photographed at the Duxford Air Show – 5th September 2009. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Sally B is the name of an airworthy 1945-built Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress. It was delivered to the United States Army Air Force on 19 June 1945 as 44-85784, after being converted to both a TB-17G and then an EB-17G is was stuck off charge in 1954. Bought by the Institut Geographic National in France as a survey aircraft. In 1975 it moved to England to be restored to wartime condition as a memorial to the USAAF B-17 airmen who lost their lives in the European theatre. It is based at the Imperial War Museum Duxford, England. Elly Sallingboe was awarded the Transport Trust Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008 in recognition of over thirty years of dedication to the preservation and operation of Britain’s only airworthy Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, the ‘Sally B’, as a flying memorial to the tens of thousands of American aircrew who lost their lives over Britain and mainland Europe in her sister aircraft during the Second World War. The Sally B was used in the film Memphis Belle as one of 5 flying B-17s needed for various film scenes, and it was used to replicate the real Memphis Belle in one scene. Half of the aircraft is still in the Memphis Belle livery. FEATURED IN: / “Warbirds” Group – November 2009.
