They are great planes of WWII that served many roles, most thinking of them as search &#038; rescue. They are an amphibious which means they can land on water. And like much of our aviation history, few remain. So when I pulled up in the parking lot at Fantasy of Flight, I instantly focused in on it. With the sun climbing in the sky, I walked over to it got right up to the rope and with the 70-200VR2, made the click. Not very dramatic. <\/p>\n<p>[swf]http:\/\/www.moosepeterson.com\/swf_imgs\/DAPFOFM0086.swf, 585, 473, [\/swf]<br \/>\n<br clear=all\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Then after the demo flight, I had a second opportunity. The tarmac ends on the other side of the PBY and that&#8217;s where you are allowed to stand during the flight. Two hours later, the light wasn&#8217;t any better but I could get right up on the plane, get down low and shoot up on it with the 18AF. I like the 18mm shot better. That might not be your favorite and that is perfectly right. Lens selection is in great part correct when the perspective of that lens matches your vision. In the perfect world for example, I would have loved to shot the PBY with a 400mm from the ground. There was the minor issue of a hanger full of planes preventing that. So I went with plan B. Compare the two, look at the view down the nose and the size of the trees in the background. Quite a difference between the two. There is no right or wrong answer, only the answer that communicates your vision!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[swf]http:\/\/www.moosepeterson.com\/swf_imgs\/DAPFOFM0022.swf, 585, 473, [\/swf] One plane I have a childhood love affair with is the PBY Catalina.
