Air-to-Air Cessna 170

[Lowflynjack]

My friend Tibor and I have been talking about taking photos of his Cessna 170 ever since he got it painted. Life got in the way, but we finally got it done.

The forecast Friday morning was for clear skies, but Mother Nature didn't listen to the forecast. We launched, hoping the sun would rise above the clouds on the horizon. Then, we noticed the tops of the clouds were lit up, and they weren't very high, and plans changed! Sometimes, things just work out for the best! The light on the plane, with the shadows on the ground, make a pretty cool contrast.

Prop Lightning

And, the belly...

Wow, the prop reflection is astounding in the 4th photo. Nice job capturing that!

Thanks! We were doing a 360, and the sun caught the polished prop just right!

I forgot an important part of the story! One day my friend Travis was showing photos of his Cessna 140A to my friend Tibor who was about to get his Cessna 170 painted. Tibor loved it and asked if he would mind sharing the paint colors. @GeorgeC bought Travis' Cessna 140A. Here is the photo shoot I did with Travis.
