[Leica] IMG: The American Airlines Flagship Detroit

[Jim Nichols]

I looked at the scheduled flights for today and realized one of the 
prime restored DC-3s in the country was coming in.  In keeping with its 
age, I put a Leica Summaron 35/3.5 on the Fuji X-E1, a lens dating from 
1956, purchased from a former LUG contributor. Here are three images:

And, as an afterthought, life is not always rosy, even when you have 
money.  The owner of this very expensive touring bus turned too closely 
around a post this morning when departing from Bonnaroo.  The aluminum 
wheel must be replaced before it can make the seven hour drive home.  
Body work will follow. :-(
