I drove by the local municipal airport yesterday, a couple of small single seaters were going. Each would take off, fly about 5 minutes, land, refuel and go again. Trainers I think. Here are a couple of shots out of a dozen or so keepers.

I thought I had the full size crop of this one, 3584x2688 so it will resize easily to 1024x768, but didn't. This is a crop of the next keeper of the same plane, 1024x768. No editing done at all, both are exactly how they came off the camera.

Shot with my K-x and Sears 80-200 lens, f8 I think. These were both 1/350 shutter speed, so I didn't quite stop the motion of the prop, but I think it works pretty well as is. I'm liking this lens pretty well, it's getting some nice shots. I got several cool shots of them flying, and fast enough to stop the prop, will try to upload and post a couple later.
