Great topic, Walter!

My first thought was "The Blue Angels", but upon reflection, it seems a little obvious. I really like this shot, though!



So, onto my actual submissions from the Museum of Flight in Seattle.

Did you know the ARMY had planes?


There is a reason that most pilots are not 6'5" (195 cm)!

Sorry, Jon! (That's my brother, The Photo Tuell)

And finally, a panorama made in ICE, then cropped and reduced in size for this entry. This is only part of the main exhibit room...
