Rob Stapleton submitted this photo and note: “I was leaving Lake Hood after a photo shoot and took a back access road to Lake Hood from Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport and noticed the moon rising over the Chugach Mountains. After positioning my vehicle on the tie-down ramp in Echo parking I grabbed a few frames of this Cessna ascending into a moonlit evening. This was the first frame of a motor drive series of three frames taken with a Canon 5DSR and a 100-400mm zoom lens.”

The restored fighter aircraft was named in honor of Betty Bishop. In 1943, she joined the ranks of Rosie the Riveters, the thousands of women who filled the workforce to power the United States Arsenal of Democracy. Betty worked on this P-63 during her World War II aircraft factory work. Never a dull moment! Go Civil Air Patrol!”
