Description

No need to comment again


Taken at the Southern Wisconsin Airfest Show, May 30th, 2010, Janesville, Wisconsin.
Melissa Pemberton (Blue Plane), Skip Stewart and Rich's Piro,
he was setting bombs off as the two planes would go toward each other but never crashed.
I was totally surprised I got this shot because everytime I look at it I dont see how they did not crash.
It was hard panning one plane (Skip's) and trying to get them BOTH in the photo,
as they flew by so fast, so I am happy with this shot.
I decided to leave the grass in to show how close to the ground they were flying
