I shot this classic aircraft over the weekend with my XT/kit lens combo. It was nice seeing one of these again.

My sister, the professional baker and cake decorator once told me that my camera takes great pics. My reply was that I thought her oven baked great cakes.:lol:

Unfortunately I wasn't able to be there when the plane landed so the static shots had to do, but it was still a blast being that close to one of the few remaining of these aircraft.

I am thankful I wasn't the one with a can of Magic Wadding given the task of polishing that aircraft. That was more than a little cleanup to get that old girl so shiney. Nice shots of an old warhorse

Thanks to everyone for the comments. I am currently looking around the tri-state area where I can hopefully find some other vintage aircraft to photograph.

Sentimental Journey belongs to the Arizona Wing of the CAF.

She recently underwent a very aggressive shop period after which she came out gleaming like a mirror. Best she's looked in years.
