Don’t you mean the photo has to be shot between January 1, 2021 and October 19, 2021?

Well, I hadn't planned to enter anything this month because I don't feel I have any compelling aircraft images. However as there is only one entry and two full days left to enter, I'll throw up an image to give you guys at least two options. I made this in Page AZ on Old Navajo Bridge waiting for the last the tour flights to land and the Condors to come out. Thinking back on the event, I probably could have composed some decent scenes but I was impatient for the Condors. Anyway this was the last flight and the one that flew by the closest and lowest.

Boeing 737-700 Kelowna to Calgary this morning. Missed focus but liked the sunrise! Tweaked contrast and colours at bit.

If I am allowed, my vote is number 1. I do not understand that plane, but it is interesting. Would you explain it , please?

I have hundreds of airplane photos but only a few from this year. I haven’t been on an airplane in almost two years; the longest no flying dry spell of my life. We made a stop by my old stomping ground at Ft. Rucker, Alabama in June and I took this photo at the Army Aviation Museum. It is a Cessna T-37; the primary jet trainer of the USAF for decades. I trained in it in Oklahoma. This example is unique in that it is painted in Army colors. If I recall correctly, it was an experimentAl observation platform.

"Well done" to those who entered this month. My vote also goes to #1.

These are all great! I do have to agree #1 stands out for capturing the plane at a great acrobatic angle, and the inclusion of the birds. Cool plane too!

Looks like photo #1 is the winner. Congratulations to @SilentAssassin and all who entered! There were some pretty darn good photos in here.

Mr. Silent, go ahead and post the theme for November.
