Default May '08 Photo of the Month Contest.

Here we are flying season is in full swing. This month has already seen the SEFF. The Joe Nall is just around the corner. We have heard about maidens on new birds and contests. Lets see some of your great photos. The prize closet has some goodies in store for the winners.

Here is one of mine from a couple of years ago. I can't win so I can show some old ones for inspiration.

Got the best plane in the world but have kinda a small car. My philosphy is: "Don't let the size of your car limit the size of your plane."

I always get some crazy looks while driving through Brooklyn and Staten Island!!!

Mark,
I used to have one of the old Byron trunk lid carriers for my old Pitts. Sure got some looks on the way to the field. In your case, I wouldn't drive under any low obstacles! Neat pic!
