At least there are no obvious birds' nests. But if you look closely you'll see the spiders have made their homes amongst her cylinder heads and the remains of her exhaust manifolds. When I was growing up there were a pair of these at the Vandalia, OH airport serving several major companies. Then the Gulfstream I turboprop arrived and the old birds were swept away. Then the GII's got their own hangers further down the ramp. I love the old birds. Adam Oh, NEX-7, Leica 35mm sumicron, probably about f8. Yes, I used focus peaking but being able to zoom in on a portion of the image is more useful. ab
