About 10 years ago, I had a chance to take some pictures for the local air museum. It was a morning flight over southeastern Michigan, on Memorial Day. The subject was the museum's B-17, and her escort, a privately owned P-51.
In addition to my normal cameras, I packed a WW2 era Contax II and lens. I was shooting from a B-25D, and REALLY wanted to try for a 'vintage image'.
It was VERY rough ride, and - like the other folks in the back of the veteran airplane - I was as sick as a flying dog.
As we flew low over the rolling hills, things calmed down and the countryside was greener than green.
It wasn't hard for a romantic to imagine flying over England.
I opened the port, hung out into the propwash and made three shots from the Contax. There's a little camera movement,
just like the real thing. Oh, well, I wanted a vintage shot !
My thanks to the vintage crew !
