This image just makes you stop and think, we guess mainly under which conditions it was taken. The colors, the alignment of things just works perfectly.

I took this photo while flying the #5 position on the Lima Lima Flight Team. The opening maneuver of the 1997 Chicago Air & Water Show was a six-ship loop. I had a Pentax A-3000 with a 20mm lens focused at infinity mounted on the top of my glare shield, pointing to the left. A cable release that ran down to my throttle hand allowed me to shoot pictures as I flew the formation loop. This was the best of 15 images I shot during that maneuver. The film was Kodacolor ASA100.
