'Above Cloud' pics
 

Hi all. :)

I am calling on my PPruNe mates for a bit of help. I want to get hold of a really nice picture of some 'on top' flying, ideally in an early evening sunset-type light, that would be good enough to print off and put in a photo frame. I have done a bit of googling and come up with a few but nothing there is 'quite right'.

I'm sure that some of you intrepid aviators will have quite a collection, would any of you wish to share and allow me to download and print the image?

To be really picky, I am looking for mainly clouds and sky (and maybe the sun), no mountains or hills and definitely no wings or propellors.

Thanks in advance!:ok:

Afraid this is the best I can offer to you. There was more sky but had to crop a wing out. It's probably not quite what you're looking for but just in case:

Early thanks to Chael and M-J who have already stepped up with some promising contenders.

These are nice for everyone to enjoy, so have we got any more entries please?

:)

I have some taken when wave flying, but not at sunset!

fionn if you PM me an email address i can send you the full size ones.

I was quite suprised how good they were as well. I had just got a Nokia N95 and was trying it out.

Lovely sunrises makes getting up in the cold and dark worth it doing red eye flights.

And this morning at bloody early time the sun was coming up and I had my camera within reach and I remembered this thread.
