I have a Leica Elmarit-R 28mm that I purchased as a "normal" lens for my 4/3 
bodies, but found it very difficult to focus.  I took it to the airport on the 
E-1, set up to zone focus and use as a point and shoot.  Most of these images 
were made that way, though some were manually focused.

Sometimes, things just catch your attention, like these shadows:

Interesting forms are added to airplanes in order to increase efficiency:

In these modern times, the Sunday drive with the wife can take on a different 
form:

The favorite noisemaker of every airshow is the venerable North American AT-6 
or SNJ:

Most people recognize the powerplant of that old workhorse, the DC-3:

Sometimes old birds just roost or rest together:

Looking at these images, I think I will try this more often.

Comments and critiques welcomed.
