Plane & Pilot proudly announces the finalists for this year’s Plane & Pilot Your Flying World Photo Contest. Finalists were selected from among hundreds of entries, and while there wasn’t a bad shot in the bunch, these images shone through.
And as usual, there was a wide range of subject matter in this year’s battle of the airborne lenses, with everything from bucolic panoramas of natural beauty to studies of the finer details of the flying machines we love so much.
Enjoy these outstanding submissions, but be sure to tune in next week when we announce the winners of this year’s Plane & Pilot Your Flying World Photo Contest!
This Shorts SD3-60 Sherpa, owned and operated by the U.S. Forest Service, based at the USFS Smoke Jumper base in McCall Idaho. My son is a pilot for the USFS and this is his airplane. We wanted a photo of his airplane, but not the usual snapshot. We also wanted to create a unique image that would help tell the story of this aircraft, and also the history of the smokejumper base in McCall Idaho. We decided to do a light painted image on the ramp in McCall and made certain to include the iconic base building in the photo.
