This bi-plane was among my favorite subjects at the air show, but it was not very accessible,so these three shots were all I could muster. After I had gotten permission to return later in the evening, I noticed many of the planes were getting put into the hangers and I figured this one would be away all night. Much to my surprise it was out all night but it had covers placed on its engine,cockpit etc,which made it less than desirable to shoot in that state,so I had to dream of what might have been if I had gotten to light paint this classic. I used other planes parked on the field to frame the bi-plane and add a touch of interest to the shot. I am not sure what the CAP on the wing stands for but it might be civil air patrol?



You are correct Don. CAP stands for Civil Air Patrol. I take it you were under the wing of one of the CAP aircraft for the shot. Nice work!!

Wow,lucky guess. thanks for checking out the pics.
Incredible lighting and color – as always!
thanks Joy
This whole series of yours on the air show is very interesting, with all these classics in pristine condition. You where very fortunate to get access to the planes on what seems a deserted airfield. Every air show I attended there was always huge crowds around the planes, what made very difficult or even impossible to get a decent photo.
Thanks, I was very grateful for the opportunity. I agree,usually there are ropes everywhere and tons of spectators.
