An old banner tower, a Piper Cub, rotting at the local airfield.

nice, great perspective and color

Very nice,but kind of sad.

lovely shot but sad to see an cub rot away

Nothing a bit of duct tape can't fix up....good as new. Now where did I leave the elevator and horizontal stab?

Nice; good colors. Need to clean up the haloing around the plane edges and under the wings, though.

I'm digging the concept!

I really appreciate all of the comments. Many thanks.

There is actually another Cub right next to this one. It's not in any better shape I'm afraid. This corner of the field holds a number of old neglected planes. Sad indeed. But certainly interesting from the photographic standpoint. I'm hoping to get back there with a camera soon.

And just so you all know, beautiful well loved aeroplanes substantially outnumber the derelicts at KSPG.

great photo but such a bummer, those old Cub's are fun to fly!!

I like this shot alot, color and composition are great. I agree with snydremark concerning the slight halo but otherwise well done.


last night my ground school teacher (a retired military/commercial pilot) said, "Cub owners, spending piles of money to go slower" haha.

Great shot but like everyone else here, very sad! Not that it really matters, but I think it is actually a PA-12 Super Cruiser.

I love the shot. Sad for the plane.
