As Xavier and Scott fly off, I get my chance to shoot the P-51C all alone. In Doug's back seat is MNCAF's Wing Leader, Amy Lauria. Ideally, you want the plane without a passenger, but that isn't always feasible, since these flights are rare and valuable. So, it helps when the passenger is wearing appropriate clothes, like a flight suit, rather than purple polka dots or fluorescent orange. Also, if you check out the essay, you'll see that I had her duck down out of sight for many of the pictures. Well, that's enough for this class. • For lesson 101.1 Catching the Early Birds, go here. • For the original essay on the Albatross, go here. • For the essay on the P-51C, go here.
