Storms to the West of us blocked the setting sun, but we got in a few!

Perfect time for photos, in the Golden Light. Nice work!!
 
Jack, do you remove the door for these shots?

Thanks! I hoped for a lot more photos as we still had about 10 minutes to sunset, but the clouds had other ideas!

Nice!
Damn...I miss mine!
They are cool. A 172 with some class!

Not when using my plane. In the Cessna 140, I just disconnect the latch from the window and it floats up under the wing. This gives me plenty of room to shoot.
We use the same method in the 210.
I've yet to shoot from the Maule, but when using it, we'll remove the giant baggage doors and I'll have a wide open shooting area and an awesome adrenaline rush. I have a safety harness I will wear for that one.
