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.
