learning to fly Photo

Photographer’s Note

"Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night.

Theres no sensation to compare with this

:) very nice - si eu am ramas foarte placut impresionata cand a fost la noi miting aviatic ... pacat ca a fost doar o data pe an!
primul din stanga nu e cumva baiatul lui Prunariu (stii tu, primul cosmonaut roman), ca parca seamana? daca e el - atunci sa stii ca si in Oradea a facut niste acrobatii aeriene minunate!
multumim larissa,

Hello Larissa,
I like the different elements in this photo: the pilots in their uniforms, and the colorful paint of the small plane behind them. It is a nice capture of the action of these men walking, too. They look like experienced and capable pilots. :-)
