Great contributions, guys. That's a wonderfull assortment of colorful Friendships, EC. Rob, that CP Air DC-8 rolling out is great-long row of spoilers on that wing!. I don't think I ever photographed that c/s, but it did resemble the CP Railroad's C/s quite a bit. Delivered to the airline on 20 Dece...

My favorite biplane is the Pitts. There is something about it-it just looks right to me. Of course they are very small, and this makes them pretty hard to photograph. I have been fortunate in recent years in that the local airport (Hartness, N. Springfield, VT (KVSF) has one IAC aerobatic weekend ea...

Superb photo, Peter. Nicely illuminated with even light, all around the ramp.

This one was on the hard drive, I'll need to get the when and where of it at a later date, though it's probably 1978 at Burlington, VT.

Pretty one, Rob. It's interesting that the US Army's Golden Knights have operated the F-27 type for a couple of decades now as the C-31A. Obviously it is very suitable for thier mission. I photographed a USN Friendship at W. Palm Beach, FL in the 1980s, though I'm not sure it ever had an official US...
