Had a small warbird fly-in today at the Smyrna (Tennessee) Airport, just outside Nashville, with a few planes from the Commemorative Air Force (formerly the Confederate Air Force in less politically-correct days), including the rare B-29 'FiFi'. Solid rain for the last few days and the next few days, and I was running to nab these ahead of a squll line that was inbound: They pulled both Stearmans into a hangar while I was shooting. I know color can work well on cloudy days, but not my favorite lighting; but who knows when I might see these ever again, so there I went. All X10, fill-flash to try and even the shadows, and these are mostly crops to desktop framing (16:9, I don't know why I just don't go ahead and shoot that aspect ratio all the time as I edit so many of them to that result. . . . )
EBC - great photos, especially the detailed ones. Fifi, she gets around (and she is one majestic lady)! I also like the closeup of what looks like Gunfighter's cockpit, with the flight helmet.
