In the 1940s
Long after my mom passed away, I found this old Kodachrome 35mm slide in some of her stuff and scanned it. It was probably taken somewhere back east on a trip in the '40s.
Ed. Note: Thanks for sharing, Ron! We'd been saving this one for a second edition of vintage photos, but after ye olde editor spent the weekend scanning old photos with his own mom, well - it was impossible hold this one in reserve any longer.
This Is Why I Fly
Sunset over middle Tennessee.
Shot on a cell phone; no manipulations.

The photo was taken with Hipstamatic on an iPhone ... no idea what the settings were.
Parked for Dinner
Harvey Field, Washington (S43).
Aircraft: Mooney M20C.
