This is a rather similar image of an already posted 'oldie' of my series 'People in the air'. I took this one because of the visual effect. This Boeing-Stearman Model 75 two seater biplane hasn't caught fire, but was using a nozzle mounted above the lower right wing to produce smoke. The 'Stearman' planes were built during the 1930s and 1940s for the United States Army Air Force (USAAF) and the United States Navy (USN). It was served as a primary trainer. The type of this one is the N2S-3 R-670. 1,875 ones of them were delivered to the US Navy only. After the WWII was over, a lot of the 'Stearman' were sold on the civilian market. A considerable number of them remain in flying condition throughout the world. This one too, so that I could captured it 'in flight but not in fire' (lol) above Zeeland, The Netherlands.

Hope you'll like this one too. Thank you in advance for your comment.

That must have been what they did in the movies when it looked like a plane had been shot down, SEA.
Live and learn.
Beautiful color combinations.

They don't make 'em like they used to, and that can be a good thing especially if you are trying to get somewhere fast! I love the color of that plane, and the way you captured it is perfect, Mr. C.

This is another great shot of a real"Oldie" still performing! Very good clarity and the smoke makes it really look as if the plane is in trouble!

This is again crisp and finely detailed as all your shots in this series have been Mr. C - I really like this one with the smoke and the bright colors against the deep blue sky.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Smoke is good; as long as it's coming from the right place.
Excellent, faved, thanks again for sharing :)
