I really like the first one,

the second one is nice in a way, maybe a tad dark.. almost abstract, but the crop bothers me.

Thanks Alex. I shot a few with planes lighted w/ hanger doors ... it just felt "more" real and period-like than typical museum shots.

Come-on Alex ... you know you like #2 ... lol.

I love plane shots, the only thing i see wrong with your photos is in #3 you can see either your reflection, or someone's behind you in the plane

ohhhhh now we're talking!!!

#1 is just stunning!

#2 has me racking my brain trying to I.D. it

#3 is great and I guess its a P51

I went back again today and that Mustang (#3) was airborne, taking a guy for the ride of his life.

Thanks LP. #2 is a F-86. The gunports were plugged with red painted wood. I believe that nearly all of the planes in the museum are flight worthy. More here:

I like the darkness in photos 1 and 2.. It makes a mysterious setting

Thanks Jay. I think the darkness draws you into the photo ... more of a "real deal" flavor than a museum ... letting your mind fill in the details.
