Pictures of the day: Biplane fly-by

By General Aviation News Staff · May 17, 2015 ·

Bill Kiviat sent in these photos taken Feb. 7. “I was working at my desk shortly before 1100 hours this morning. Through the window I could hear the sound of reciprocal engines in the area. I grabbed my Canon 7D Mark 2 with the 70 to 300 mm lens and went out the front door.

“I could hear the engines, but not see the aircraft, so I searched the sky,” he continued. “Then from the north a flight of five biplanes were heading south to my location. I set the camera and started to track the aircraft. Below are some of the images I recorded during the two fly-bys of my location.”

Bill noted that the “sky color changes both visually and photographically as I tracked the aircraft. The sun was to the south of my location and the aircraft.”
