Cloud Nine *

.
Straight out of the camera, taken out the window of my dad's plane last summer. Don't they look like fluffy cotton?

    Beautiful. But I see mushrooms. :)
    That sounds so good, "my dad's plane."
    Hey, wait, my dad had a plane too. But it was a World War II Liberator bomber that he was piloting. Shot down while bombing Ploesti oil fields. He was a POW for six months.
    So yeah, I was thinking about American Veterans Day.

    He's a private pilot - just for fun, not professionally, though we do have 4 generations of pilots in the family :).

    If the mothership were made of cotton this is what it would look like. Amazing!

    How do we know that what we are looking at is not cotton with a blue sky and a few real clouds behind it? People can do some very creative things with Photoshop.

    Your dad has a plane? Where does he tie it down? Yes, I'm nosy. I used to live in New England and I used to know a few private pilots.

    My daughter learned how to fly, but that makes only 2 generations. You have FOUR? Wow. You included?

    Nope, not me I'm afraid. My grandfather flew with Billy Mitchell though back in the old leather helmet and goggles days :).

    Looks like it's not even real. I love cloud photos from the plane. I took a few of a thunderstorm mixed with sun a while back. Really cool!
