This is nice e capture of the plane getting ready to land. The front end view is appealing and your exposure looks good. The history of the plane is also really interesting.

Nice shot of this bomber coming in to land. Good clear focus to make the details very visible. The slight motion blur on the props is good to show the action. The slight angle of the plane adds interest. Well done.

A beautiful,& interesting picture of this B-17 propeller plane approaching the landing strip landing gear down. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus. Good luck in the contest.

The photo is well framed with the bomber coming in over the tree tops. The photo is sharp and provides clear and well defined details. Excellent timing on the shot.

A very nice aviation history shot posted here! Was this the plane that was called the "Flying Fortress" in the UK? Your fine composition captures a good in flight moment. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely taken and good luck!

    You are correct! In fact, the Sally B,which was also used in the movie,is the only airworthy B-17 in Europe and is based at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford,England! Thanks for both your review and well wishes!

I like this old military plane and its history. War is a terrible act but one the world chooses to experience time and again. The beauty of war machines belie the devastation they cause. This is a nice in flight shot.
