This week in SSC:

"Take a photo of anything that flies or floats in the air."

Well, I got a lot of exercise this week. We always have jets going over from Sea-Tac International Airport in Seattle but we also live very near a private airpark. Planes take off or land from there but you never know when it will be. So each time I heard what I thought was a small plane I went running outside with my camera. I got several shots of different planes but this was the best one I got all week. I believe it's a replica of a World War 1 Army plane. I just love the bright colors. You can see some of the other planes (and helicopters) that I saw this week in the PIP.



...and for Sight and Sound:

The Beatles from their "Magical Mystery Tour" album (1967)

Well caught, such a variety of flying objects!
Sometimes we see aircraft overhead but this week the wind wasn't from the right direction and they took a different approach...

Karen's Place club has replied to Gudrun club
Yes, you can see almost anything here even lots of military planes and helicopters since we're not too far from a military base.

Danke, Gudrun. :)

Well taken, Karen. It's a Boeing Stearman trainer of the late 1930s, I'm fairly sure. A good collage in the PiP also.

Wow, thanks, George! That's so helpful. :)

I just did a Google search and found this about the actual 404 plane itself: oldethymeaviation.com/?page_id=200

Love the electric blue of the sky and the plane's fuselage. A well timed and framed photo, Karen. And, a super series of shots in PIP. An ace musical match too :-)

Thank you for posting to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music
