Ghost. It seems to be the month for unexpected flying objects. First
the Red Tail Hawk surprised the c*** out of me, then this. I was taking
a walk on the shore of New Haven Harbor, pretty much under the flight
path from Tweed NH Airport when I heard the unmistakable sound of a very
heavy multi engine piston powered aircraft. I looked up and my first
thought damn that looks like a B17! I managed one shot before it was
too far away for the rig I had. This is about the center 1/3 of the
frame, reduced to 800:534 px. I wasn't even sure of my identification
until I was examining my shots earlier this evening. There are what,
maybe half a dozen of these still flying anywhere in the world?

Equipment: Pentax K20D w/smc Pentax FA 28-200mm f3.8~5,6
Notes: Once again the subject matter trumps the technical quality of
the shot. At least I'm going to keep telling myself that.
