I was at a local fly-in a couple of weeks ago and a young guy parked his 172 next to me. It's got one of the most unique paint jobs I've ever seen. I knew I needed to see it in the air, so I went over and asked him if we was interested in being in Cessna Owner's magazine. He was not only interested, he was excited about it! It was everything I expected in the air. Connor is 22, owns his own Cessna 172, and is planning to fly it into Oshkosh next year. We need more young people have his passion!

BTW, he bought it with this paint job. He said the previous owner owned a paint shop called Reflections. He saw the plane when he was a kid and always loved it.

Well that certainly has a unique paint scheme,nice job on the pictures
 
Stunning shots!

What is your photo platform? Do you remove the door/window?
Most of the time it's my 182 and I have both window arms disconnected so they float up to the wing. In this case, I used my friend's 170, also opening the windows fully.

Other platforms I use are a B-25 with the tail gunner section removed, and an A-36 Bonanza with the doors off.
