now that I think about it, there were some space displays at Air Zoo. I think they had a Saturn 5 Engine and nozzle on display, maybe some Mercury and Gemini stuff too.

I've done Air Zoo in Kalamazoo MI, it's an impressive collection as well, but not as many advanced aircraft and certainly no space or missiles. My son and I did this in about four hours. Lots of kids there on field trips. We skimmed a lot of the reading stuff. I still have a bunch of photos...

The place is huge. The missile display was pretty crazy.

That one came next. I hated it when they introduced it, and I still don’t care for it. It made for a neat rear ramp that was built in to the airplane . Also made it easy for a well known hijacker. I’m sitting in a hotel having breakfast 15 minutes away from the US Air Force Museum in Dayton...

It amazed me how quickly the technology moved from angles like the F-117 to break up radar reflections to coatings. First time I heard of a stealth ship I thought it was a joke!

That United logo brings back memories, it was the one they were using when Dad went to work for United in the late 60's. First time I flew they had the 'Red, White, and Blue' classes instead of first class and coach. A lot of people don't know the Stuka was outfitted with a siren to increase...

Holy crap! That's pretty tough on the front tire!

First show this year. I have been so busy at the track that extracurricular photography hasn't been very appealing. One of the Funny Car owners that calls Milan his home track was asked to organize a car show in his town, about 1/2 hour west of me and asked if I could come out, as they hoped to...

Yes. Same with airplanes. I can get by with a much faster shutter speed on something like a Skymaster, but an old rotary motor like a Stearman needs pretty slow.

Yeah, but with the fixed aperture not much I could do other than boost ISO. Here was the scenario: I'm getting in my truck to leave work having just put the camera bag on the floor in the backseat. I hear the helicopter, but can't see it as it's approaching from the far side of our building. I...

Minolta Maxxum 5D and 500/8 Reflex. Wish I could've slowed the shutter to get some blade blur. PICT0029 by telecast, on Flickr

Careful, pretty sure they're farting...

This old boxcar sat on a siding in a neighboring town for decades. The siding had been long since abandoned and the neighborhood had pretty much been rebuilt. Vines and trees had taken root and the car was partially covered. Would've been a nice subject but I always drove by when at work or when...

A ton of talent here too, and an opportunity to post three favorites for the month. And you made it easy, over there it was top 5. I probably couldn't have posted this month! Plus the diverse selection of cameras is fun to see. You and your Pentax make beautiful images, love seeing them.

Shame these threads don't draw more.

Well, then we have something in common. That's also one of my favorite reflection shots you ever took!

Something's wrong with your camera, that guy's bag is really pixelated. :D

Guessing Zucchini for Zucchini bread.

Just wrapped up a couple of pumpkin pies with the P-40 War Aid!

Lincoln Mark III. Stepdad had one, black with a white top and black/white interior. Which I had it now, couldn’t afford to drive it though!

Crazy day yesterday at the Nostalgia Nationals. Lots of blown engines, chutes popping early, cars breaking. A lot of delays. A 1943 Willys crashed and rolled when the yoke that holds the rear axle in place broke. The car went sideways in the shutdown area and rolled 3 times. Driver walked away...

Oh yeah...holy crap, it was so normal seeing @rloewy post photos of cars it didn't even occur to me! Welcome indeed! Ok, I got my lenses cleaned, my cards cleared, my batteries charged, and my verbs conjugated. Today are the Nostalgia Drags, top fuels rails, funny cars, Alcohol funny cars...

The Special was the entry-level stripped down version. Lower trim package.

A mid 60's Special here fully restored is around $50,000.00. Not hot rodded or customed, just restored.

Pretty much it in a nutshell. Don't forget, the model started in the 30's when 'Special' would've been a good name. The Special was the first Buick to feature a V6. Eventually it stopped being its own model and became an entry level trim package on other models. Mom had a Buick Special in the...

Some of them really get into the props. This is the rumble seat of a 1930 Cadillac LaSalle: P1075377 by Shotglass Photo, on Flickr Some dress the part. This guy is leaning on his Pierce Arrow, either a '32 or a '33, can't recall. He offered to let me do it and take my picture, I was afraid to...

You can't go by that on these builds. That was likely fitted with a Straight 6 from the factory, or a small V8, and swapping engines between manufacturers in hot rods is common. Chevy 350s get put in everything. I poked around and found this in one of my albums, the hood vents, headlights, and...

That yellow and copper coupe second from the bottom is amazing! Is that a Chevrolet?

1941 Willys. Color is Pearl Candy Tangerine with ghost flames. Interior is amazing. This guy drives the car to shows, he doesn't trailer it. I'd be scared to death. DSC03341 by Shotglass Photo, on Flickr If you think that air cleaner housing looks like someone's butt crack bent over working on...

I can imagine the bypass surgery just looking at it!

Long time since anyone posted in here. I liked the shot of this horse but wanted the trainer gone. I've been playing with Affinity this week past to try and get a handle on it. Took a few tries to get to this point and I can still see some room for improvement, but overall, I'm satisfied. I...
