Finally made it out to Coolidge Municipal Airport (P08) for pancakes on the wing. The weather was dodgy and the light was spotty at best but some interesting subjects dropped in nonetheless.

:lol: "Brochure Treatment"=
- Worms Eye View
- All Highlights Dodged
- All Shadows Burned
- Sky Gradient
- Bugs (mostly) Cleaned Off
- Background Clutter Removed (Except One Weed...)
- Contrast / Curves Layer For Fuselage
- Additional Contrast / Curves Layer For Glass

Essentially, no bearing in reality of what it looked like parked there... :lol:

Luckily my PS skills aren't that great so I will never get to "Brochure Treating" my images

I think it is a Commonwealth Skyranger. The fin/rudder are the giveaway on this one. LOL @ the "brochure treatment."

All are your usual nice work, but the Pitts shot is worth the trip all by itself!

Thanks for the ID Ryan. It does say Skyranger on the cowl but I didn't want to assume that was a model if it was just a nickname.

I like them all but because I see & like the R/C versions of the Super Decathalon it's between it & the Yak that top my fav's of the set.

A skill is developed through constant practice with a passion to improve, not bought.

Decathlon has to just be a gas to fly. Thanks for having a look.

Interesting about the 206 reg. I ran into a fixed wing the other day that was the same way.

I have a hunch we have our fair share of aircraft here in AZ with the "registration" NSHHHH...
