Yet another fine evening at Sky Manor.

Postby flyboy 28 » Sun Sep 07, 2008 6:19 pm

I hit up Sky Manor this evening, as is getting to be my normal Sunday routine after work. Plenty of fine specimens to be found before the light slowly faded away. 8-)

Can't say much on the [likely] original paint scheme of this 152. The 70's are alive and well, I guess. :P

Very nice set! That 120 threw me for a second... usually the only way you can tell a 120 from an early 140 (unless the flaps are deployed) is that the 120s have no D-windows. Some were retrofitted, and this is one of them.  ;D

I like the 195, but I think the racing stripes on the wing look a tad out of place, compared to the rest of the scheme......... :-/

Thanks folks. By the way, these were with my Tamron 70-300. My 100-400's AF motor decided to stop working. ::) :-?
