Looks like people were interested in the other thread, so I'll post some of mine. These were taken while getting my pilot's license and on a few flights since then, some by me, some by my brave passengers. I don't think they'll be winning any art awards, but hey, you try composing a perfect picture while trying to fly the plane!

* Yes, for those of you who know how to read the VASI lights, I know I'm a bit low there.
More will follow as I get them uploaded to a hosting service that can handle the downloads.

Were you flying over VA Tech when you shot that last pic? I could swear that was my ROTC quadrangle. Course, I could be mistaken...it kinda looks like Radford, too. There's an all-girl school that's build in the same style as Tech...

Great stuff! Especially dig the cooling town shot. I love the way you integrated the wing/pylon into your compositions. Applying a basic "auto contrast" or "auto levels" will probably help clear up some of the haze. Tinkering with the shadow/highlight tool and the curves also helps.
