 I used to see this aircraft often when I went to Gorman.  It sounded louder than other planes that large.  I seemed to go faster.  The pilot seemed to want to do fancy flying.

I have decided that 1/500th or 1/750th would be a fast enough shutter speed for this shot.  I used 1/1000th and as you can see it stops the prop.  I think I would like the propeller to be slightly blurred.
