Pontiac Airport Open House and Dawn Patrols

[Adler]

Starting off with Pontiac Airport's Open House. I was a plane parker this year, which basically got me a do anything pass. So I took advantage of this and got some pretty cool shots.

First, a pretty weird shot: Blue skies in the middle of a downpour, with hundreds of people seeking refuge under a B17.

The PTK GRE

My friend made fun of me for bringing my camera to a dinner party. This is why I do what I do...

IFL's 72

CheVelocity: A 230MPH Velocity powered by, you guessed it, a Chevy engine. As seen in Sport Aviation.

Now for some pictures of a local dawn patrol - Newman's Airport. I didn't take too many pictures here, because I ended up talking a lot, and got a ride in the Remos - can't complain...

How many college students have teachers with one of these:

Something...

Departures

And to finish things off, one of those things people love to hate, a B17 HDR.

Great pictures as usual!

I was caught in that down pour while I was mowing my yard, it wasn't that enjoyable.

Fantastic photos, thanks for sharing! That's an interesting looking setup on that green biplane. It looks like it may have an automotive engine with some HVAC hardware on the cowling. Do you know any of the details?

Beautiful pics, as always. Keep 'em coming! :clap:

Awesome pics! I think I know the guy in the CJ3.

Awesome pics...usually not a fan of the HDR, but the last one with the B17 is pretty sharp.

Cheers.

Don't know. Like I said, the guy is actually a teacher at my college, so I'll ask once it starts up again.

Thank you and all others who have said encouraging things, although I think I just get lucky though.

I just realized I posted the T6 sunset picture here, I meant to keep it a secret and use it for the photo contest...oh well.
