Description
It's 1935, how do we take this picture? There is no single lens reflex 35mm to point out of the pilot cockpit or observer cockpit of a wingman. Mostly such shots were low like this and shot from the tower. This is where movies come in. No motion blur is desired. Now that I have flown CS3 a bit I have gotten so experienced that I get great tracking and can photograph the ME-262's from my Typhoon as my tracers pass ineffectively by. Checking my airspeed I see I am near stall and the ME's are hot. Lets' see, the lead requirement has gone up, I can't quite close and the rifle caliber bullets are bleeding off airspeed with the additional range while leaving a sloweer gun platform. It all adds up to some great film shots but no dice on the war front. Sidney Camm knew this, even though he had yet to see a jet. They were about 6 years off. Well within the design horizon for a new build. My pilot guy does not yet have earphones as his radio is yet to be installed. He relies on wing-walkers.

absolutely awesome!!!
Fantastic realization Dale....!!!
Fantastic picture - how things have changed! Just one more fly pass of the tower and we'll get that shot - "hold on wing walkers what did they say?"
Outstanding!! It is amazing when you think that a chunk of metal that big can stay up in the air.
Bravo Dale another cracker
The op art as opposed to techne which is wider is in the prop stylized in aboutline and in the twisted outer space on the right edge which few aviators see. Okay. Why not (let's say) abstract and clone? Poor dear underemployed underenjoyed engineers.... Crutches beautifully realized and signed....
