Air-to-Air Cessna 182

[Lowflynjack]

Well the weather in Texas has finally taken the normal turn... rain has ended and the heat has arrived! This means I finally was able to get in the air to get some photos of this 182 yesterday.

Sorry in advance, I'm posting a few more on this one than I usually do!

These pics are neat because if you look at the trees, you'll see they spell out Luecke. You can see the story behind them by clicking here.

And lastly, a couple of drone shots. Taken at Fayette Regional Airport in LaGrange, TX. The jet on display is an F-100F.

Great shots as always!

Awesome. I love the sunset "gold" shots. Probably a major PITA for prop blur but still cool!

Off topic but what advantages did you get with that prop? TIA

 

[Zeldman]

Great shots as usual.!!

But La Grange has really changed since I used to fly in there once a week for business several years ago. Back then there was only a couple rickety wood hangars plus the wood shack used as an ''fbo''. All it had in it was a couch and a telephone, but it was air conditioned. And no cement anywhere.

The photo plane I use also has a 3-bladed prop. Incredibly short take off, great climb, but slow as hell!

The way he gets the sun to give him the shot he wants is a gift. He's got it.

Thanks! I don't remember LaGrange being that way, but I remember that at Llano. It's nice when they fix these airports up. Hoping we get our new terminal at T74 in the near future.

Thanks Gary. #1 captures the true feel of the day. I had two great pilots in that 182 and it helped me relax and enjoy the shoot!

The way he gets the sun to give him the shot he wants is a gift. He's got it.

Thank you! I'm a nut for the sun. I've even got my girlfriend pointing out how the sun lights up a tree or a building in the mornings! When doing one of these shoots, we just do a lot of turns until I see the light I want.

View attachment 97215I’ve seen those letters! Great shots!

Thanks. Those letters are one of the coolest things around here. Great to show someone who is new to the area.

Lol! I was taught most forums like 8 to 10 photos, so I felt like I was breaking the law!
