Bamboo provided by the Chinese Nationalist Army. Light and contrast balanced and cropped. (A very non-period silo removed from the background for effect.) Tim Goddard used his iphone6 at 12 Oaks, FL to shoot this is RV8 named Sprig, completed in January 2016 after 15 years of construction. It won Outstanding Homebuilt at Sun N Fun, First Place Custom Metal Aircraft and Reserve Grand Champion both at South East Regional Fly-In. See you at Oshkosh 2017. The EAA Trimotor was in Lincoln, CA for the weekend. The local chamber of commerce put on a dinner dance and invited attendees to come in costume from the period. David Bennett snapped this picture of his wife Harriet at the event sitting inside the Ford. It was a fun event. The picture was taken with an iPhone with no changes or touch ups. Carl B. Jordan, of Port Charlotte, FL writes: "My dad, Carl G. Jordan, chose the Johnson Flying School in Dayton, Ohio. A.E. Rigney taught my dad to fly in this OX-5-powered Curtiss Jenny. He soloed in this same plane on August 19, 1927. He retired from American Airlines while flying B-707's so literally went from 'Jennies to Jets.'"
