Sweet capture Bill Beautiful aircraft
cool pov
Beautiful image of this airplane!
... and bad, in the old days ;o]... very cool shot!
Shiny is always good! I like the human scale of planes like this.
Great reflections! I assume it was over in that far left front corner, and I'm trying to work out the rest of the room. LOL! Never mind. It's a great shot! :)
superb,what a dynamic shape
What can I say Bill that I haven't said before! 5/5 mate. Excellent.
Love the bad kitty :o)))) xx
Very nice....
Great reflections & POV. And I like the cartoon kitty logo & the "Propeller Danger Danger" warning...
Super shot Bill. Love the motif :)
Oh so nice! I want one!
Nice angle of capture. Sharp, Bill!
Bad Kitty, I love it! Yes, shiny and pretty and sharp as a tack...and I love the propeller danger warning! You wouldn't think that would be necessary, would you? Great capture!
Love the POV and paint job on that venerable beauty, Bill.
Prior to HFS service.........After serving with the USMC, Bad Kitty, F7F-3P, Bu No 80483, N6178C,became Tanker E-43 with Cal-Nat Airways, Sis-Q Flying Services, and was then owned by Kermit Weeks. Weeks sold her to Lea Aviation to be opreated by Plane Sailing Air Displays, Duxford, she was flown by Paul Warren Wilson from Oakland – Sioux City – Minneapolis – Sudbury – St John’s – Santa Maria – Manston – Duxford, arriving November 13th 1988. We have one of these in The Plant, and it's 'Bad Kitty'.....not quite this shiny though.... I must ask Tailspin what he's done with it....
Very nice capture Bill.
MEEEYOW!! That's a slick and shiny Bad Kitty - I love it! What a great shot of this sweet machine! I need one of these... Great capture, Bill!
very sharp photo and plane
Great capture of this well-maintained bird Bill!
Zoom's a must! It just explodes in chrome and beautiful black reflections and bulbous sweep and all kinds of stuff, zoomed. While I zoom everything, some images just shout to be zoomed, and this is one. It's a big in your face balloon of a plane-front; and the reflections are really vast---if you follow the lines all the way back to the left-side corner (the image's left side), it really takes you on a journey. I love that you let it balloon out to fill up the whole image. We even forget that there's an engine to the left. And the thin red "Danger/Propeller" sign is a fine contrast for this bulbous dinosaur. This image shouts "FloooooooooOOOOOOOOP!" It bursts into the frame like someone let the air into it and it inflated in 2 seconds and stayed there. That may not be an explanation pilots favor---I admit that---but it feels plastic, bulbous, big and inflating. Terrific capture of one of the many personalities of an old classic fuselage. This would be something wall-size. People would be staring at it everytime they walked past. Big, fun, splashy and splendidly sensual and shiny. Love it.
Love the Tigercat. Glad they have a few still around.
