Mosquito Aircraft Restoration
Dan Gay of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk (England)
While visiting Ardmore Air Field in New Zealand, I was lucky to be invited to have a look around the Mosquito workshop, where it was just finished being rebuilt. This is the world's only WWII-era Mosquito bomber capable of flying and will be at Oshkosh in 2013. Unfortunately, I only had my phone to take the photos.

Holy CB
Erez Boym of Shimshit, Israel
A lonely CB approaching the airfield. It was a perfect sunny day when a lonely CB appeared from nowwhere. The sun shone behind it, giving the impression that it has a halo around it, like God is on his way. Taken while standing at the tak-eoff position on the runway.

Yes, I'm a 70-year-old teaching myself Photoshop. Shot with my Canon T1i.
Where? Can't remember — I'm on the verge of Alzheimer's — but I think I took this one at the Chino Air Show this year. Parakeet is my own. I bought the hat at Fry's.
