Spotting at Sky Manor this afternoon, pt. 2

[flyboy 28]

I drove around back to see if there were any hangars open with interesting artifacts. Everything was all bundled up except for this lone Cessna 170.


I saw this big guy rumble past my house also. I couldn't place it until I looked it up. Turns out it's a 1955 Beech C-50. I had never even heard of the thing. Really cool though.


Then I saw this massive Blackhawk formation loom past. Also really neat.


Another view of that RV-6.


That's it for this weekend. No pics of the Berievs. Sorry.

Nice one James. I love that Cessna & the RV-6.

aka the Twin Bonanza.

Looks like it's not been painted (or cleaned) since 1955 as well  ;)  ;D

The pic of the Beech is pretty dark, what camera settings were you using?

I believe I accidentally switched to shutter priority. I usually shoot in RAW and then do all the post processing myself. With the camera presets, it can come out pretty bad.

Try the IrfanView "Auto adjust colours" feature. Doesn't always work but you might get a nice surprise.

Thanks Doug. I really don't use Irfanview. I guess I'll have to give it a go. I used it once, but couldn't stand when all the icons for images turned into that little red splat thing.

It won't do that unless you select the option when you install it. You can associate file extensions with whichever program you wish.

More great shots, James!!

I thought I heard on the news that those Blackhawks were searching for a seventeen year old male wondering around airports taking pictures!!
