"Hello, down there!"
If M.C. Escher designed an airplane . . .
Navigator in his seat
A sense of scale
Those are full-size cockpit windows
The Guppy
Ohio University's DC-3
The French Connection
The B-1b Bomber
They make great shade, too
Self-portrait in a warbird's spinner
And yes, it flies
Another famous pilot
DeHaviland Mosquito
Hardly ever seen
Not to be seen again
Look!
The P-38 in a hard bank
Two cool World War II birds
Winner of the Battle of Britain
And without the hat
Probably the best pilot in the world
I said they were daredevils!
Yes, it fit -- just barely
And yes, it really could fly
The Blimp arrives to pick me up
Ground crew steadies the ship
It's brought in to its mooring mast
Ground crew checks that all is secure
It can weather-vane freely
The pilots have a great view
Power is from twin Porsche engines
Waiting for my flight
It doesn't just float up, it climbs
Pilot and copilot as seen from the cabin
A blimp picture without a blimp in it
A blimp's-eye view of White Plains, New York
Heading back
Airport in sight -- no need for a runway
Ground crew hard at work
Arriving at the hangar
Pulling out the plane
Checking the oil
Doing the walkaround
In a dive

Inside the Goose
One of Grumman's highly successful line of amphibious airplanes, the Goose was, in its day, the equivalent of a modern business jet. Some wealthy New Yorkers even commuted from their Long Island homes to New York Harbor and then to the financial district. Nikon FA, 18mm Nikkor, Fujichrome
