Was driving home from class this afternoon sitting at a light getting ready to turn. All of a sudden I see this large prop plane fly overhead in a brilliant aluminum finish. I rushed to my dorm, grabbed my camera and forgot all about the test I was going to study for.

Some nice angles, so often trying to get the whole aircraft the pictures look flat and distant. These are good 8-)

It's rare to see an amazing aircraft like this, let alone one that still regularly flies. It was certianly lucky. 8-)

She is a beautiful airplane. She spent a week here about a year ago, giving tours and rides. I almost got a ride in it, but the last empty seat got taken.

She is a beauty for sure. Wish I could see them flying more often, but I suppose that the rarity makes its special.
Thanks for the complements guys!

Some top-notch "Fort-porn", there.

Looks like you caught her right after she'd been polished... wow!!!
That's a lot of work, polishing something that big.
