What a beutiful airplane. | |
I really like this, Rob, so much atmosphere. Glad to hear that the PC gremlins are being squashed! Clive | |
Super shot Rob... really shows off the graceful lines very very well! | |
What a fine shot of civil aviation craft past and present. | |
Great capture once again Rob, your timing is perfect | |

Great shot! The Dragon Rapide is one of my favs. The incoming plane looks like it may be a Piper Arrow IV - another fav and one that brings back some fond memories. Logged a bunch of hours in one back in the 80's. | |
Very beatiful capture Glad to hear the PC problems are getting resolved | |
fabulous picture | |
by goodoleboy (online now) on Feb 7, 2013 6:30:37 pm [homepage] Really great clarity and stark lighting in this capture of the aircraft and environs, especially the aeroplane coming in for a landing, contrasted against that ominous background, mate. | |
OK, Rob...you wouldn't expect less than for me to identify the 'Young' plane would you? The T-tail configuration is the giveaway for me. It was manufactured by Piper Aircraft sometime during the years 1977-1979. It is a Piper Lance or Lance II. It appears to have a three bladed prop and retractable gear. It could even be a Turbo Lance II. I have several hundred hours flying Piper Cherokee 140s, 180s and 235s, the only easily recognizable difference between them and the Lance is the T tail. T tails were very unpopular (different flight characteristics...the tail begins to fly after the wings during takeoff or put another way it is a pig at low airspeed) and Piper dropped them in 1980. But you've got a fashionable one on short final here:) | |
They really knew how to design beautiful planes back then did't they! A real stunner mate and wonderfully taken as always :) | |
by dakotabluemoon on Feb 8, 2013 7:10:38 am [homepage] Very nice shot here Rob. | |
A wonderful shot of the old and the new, Rob! Glad to hear you're at least making a little bit of progress on your computer problems. I know they can drive you crazy... Looking forward to the rest of your Eagle series, mate! | |
Hi Rob, as you can already guess from my last pics, aviation is another passion of mine! Indeed, this shot is a nice contrast between generations! Hope your PC issues are blown away soon!! | |
Rob, sounds as if you are having fun. Great capture of this fine flying machine! | |
