Tail-Dragger

Uploaded: November 15, 2010 | Entered: April 28, 2017 04:17:30

Description


A few of the Vintage military aircraft are still flying - And with the right pilot they can still Turn and Burn with the best of them!

FYI – For the purist in aviation it can be argued that a true Taildragger does not have a wheel and tire on the aft end, but only a skid pad….

Canon 70-200L IS at 190mm. Early Afternoon, ISO 250, 1/1250 @ f7.1 (CA)

Exif: F Number: 7.1, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/1250 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 250, FocalLength: 190.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 50D
