CF-GMZ / 80 (cn 6S/676505) An unusual sight at the 1949 National Air Races was this Spirtfire F. R. XIV. Its massive five-bladed propeller was turned by a Rolls-Royce Griffon engine. Flown by J.H. G. McArthur, it placed third in the Tinnerman Trophy Race with a speed of 359.565 miles per hour. (Adam Snelly collection)

Anchorage - Lake Hood Strip / Seaplane (LHD / Z41)
USA - Alaska, November 12, 2005

Remark

Photographer

N22CB (cn 18502188) This Cessna 185 is sitting quiet but resting peacefully at the Lake Hood Seaplane Airport. As the lake is completely frozen during winter, the owner put his lovely airplane onto the lakeside which gave me this unique perspective. Low winter sun is rising just behind the airplane whereas the snow helps the shadow to brighten up. This is a full 12mm view which I think it is something interesting to show. Bright yellow color of this airplane gives this image a final touch.

Remark

Photographer

On one of my last days in the Torres Strait we decided to take a trip to Warraber for a look. After asking the pilot if I could get an aerial shot, he came up with this position, which was pretty good. Runways 12-30, 720 metres in length.

Remark

D-AHIA (cn 29082/229) The most spectacular I have experienced in Europe so far! Very late 90 degree right turn ending right at the threshold of the runway. Dangerous downwinds from the hills make it even more difficult.
