[Leica] IMG: From the 50s

[Sonny Carter]

One of my favorite airplanes to shoot pictures from.   I always took a
large phillips screwdriver with me when I went out to fly in a 170 (or a
172) so I could take the screw out of the window brace, then the side
window would flap up against the wing so I had a pretty clear view.

Love a shot that brings back good memories.  Thanks.
