Tehachapi Municipal Airport

A few pictures from hanging out at the local airport. C&C please?

I'm getting a bit better with the settings now. I'm only having to do tiny amounts of color editing to each picture.

Check out the rest here:

Edited to add:

How would I know when the color balances are just right? I can do what I think looks best, but I want to know how to get them super realistic looking.

Would like to see them a little tighter but I think you've got two good looks at a Siai Marchetti...

Tighter? As in crop them?

Is that the orange one? I know my jets and military aviation, but nothing about propeller planes or other tail-draggers.

you could crop them a little more from the original to make them look "closer" (but don't save over the original of course)

K I shall try that and see what I get. Some of them are already cropped. I'll go back through and crop some of the others in a little bit. Thanks for the advice!
