Description
This beautiful vintage Boeing Stearman PT-17 on take off is a wonderful sight, it's yellow wings glowing brightly in the mid afternoon sun!!! The Stearman was a trainer plane for future fighter pilots in the 30's it was a stable platform to learn the basics of flight. It was also a very reliable and strong airplane!!! With new pilots it needed to be strong!!! Standing near the back of the PT-17, I stood with my back to the airplane and braced for the prop wash!! Boy did I get it!!! After it was taking to the air I got this photo!!! I hope you enjoy the "Prop Wash"!!!

Oh, Marvin, this is a really great capture with the wonderful POV, the bright pop of yellow, the blurred motion of the propellers and the depth. I'd call this perfect! Every small plane pilot will want this! :) l/f/t/p

A fine image Marvin. Until I read the description, I wondered how you were positioned to make the image. At first I thought landing and wow that's a trick. Take off a little more understanding. Great photo my friend.
