Just Plane Fun

There’s an exhibit going on right now at the MV Museum that features oral histories from World War II veterans- on Saturday I went to the Katama Airfield to take photos of an airshow the museum had set up in conjunction with the exhibit. Three WWII-era planes flew in for the day, along with several other vintage planes. Turnout was excellent; older people and kids alike were so excited to see the planes and talk to their pilots.

I’ve never photographed planes before (except from within one), and had a lot of fun at this assignment. The vintage planes are especially good for trying interesting frame and compositions.

On a personal note, I was thrilled to (for once) not get a sunburn despite being out in the sun from noon to two. Success!
