Life in the East.

[Lazerbeak]

East Germany, that is. I decided to have a little taste of the GDR today (in the city of Kamenz), by doing some light crop-dusting in the venerable old PZL-Mielec M-18 Dromader, as flown by Interflug.

The oddly-shaped, but dependable, Dromader is loaded up and ready to go.


Taxiing to the runway.


Ever seen a flying camel?


Goodbye, nasty pests!


After several successful passes, it's time to return home.


Now to drive my trusty Trabant back to my flat and try to stave off the Stasi for another day...

Stunningly beautiful shots Lazer! It's a hideous plane but as it is yellow I think it came out really cracking in this series!
I love the second shot! That is a very nice angle and the slight 'diagonal-ness' in that shot is really very nice to look at.
I really like your attention to details ... like the ground shadow in the last shot which is very nice ...

Very nice ones Lazer!

Love the 2nd!

Cheers,
