Air-to-Air 1957 Cessna 182

[Lowflynjack]

Well, I've got a big photo shoot today and I didn't want to go into it with a new camera that I'd never used! I asked my photo pilot, Bradley, if he wanted some shots of his 182. Yep, he did! I got another friend of mine, who is a local instructor, to fly for me, and we got in a short shoot before sunset.

First shoot with my new Canon R3. So far, I think I'll keep it!

Great photos! I owned a 1957 182A for a few years, so I'm partial to the straight-tailed Cessnas.

Thanks. Me too... mine is 1959! Love the straight tails!

Nice shots. One way to keep your belly "clean."

Nice, I wish Cessna had kept that tail design!

 

[Mason]

That camera is a keeper.

Jack could use a potato and still make the pictures look good.

Straight tail 182's are awesome! I have a '58 that still has nice original paint...

The silhouette shot is very nice!

Because it hides that paint scheme?

 

[Brad Smith]

The old straight tails are my favorites. The breakaway shot is really cool.

I’m guessing it’s a better paint scheme than you had on your 182 you saved up for at 29 years old!

 

[Dave Theisen]

Just joking of course. It’s really not a bad looking. I love the straight tail Cessna and I just prefer the ones that still have a vintage paint scheme.

And the results are out!
