Nice shots.
In my years of news photography, the Cessna was my favorite ride.
Nice that you can unscrew a retaining bolt and it allows the window to open
all the way to the wing, and the lift keeps it there. I always kept a
large Phillips screwdriver in my camera bag for that as WWL-TV covered lots
of stuff from the air.
Once we even landed our Cessna seaplane in the Gulf alongside a burning oil
rig. I asked the pilot, "How close can we get?", and he replied, " I'll
put you off on it if you want."
No Thanks!
Regards,
Sonny

Went for a lovely flight, yesterday morning. Two delightful hours of
cruising the Grand Prairie (Alberta) area with our grandson, Nathan, who is
an excellent pilot.
This was my ride...

PS: the subject line comes from the fact that Nathan is a private pilot,
his dad is, too, as am I.
