I wanted always to get my private pilots licence... sigh.........

My Dad was a pilot, I grew up in a small airport.. the day I saw his place crash I lost interest! He wasn't flying it and the guy that was survived. All my brothers have their licenses, they don't fly much these days and that's tough for my little brother because he and I are both colour blind.

nicely done Wendi, like your processing

thank you Wierd, it needed something, it was dusky when I took the picture so the details just faded into the background

Love the presentation Wendi. And a perfect entry

thanks Jan

The plane has a true pioneer feel to it, love the film border!

that was my intention to make it look old thank you Gudrun

A couple of teacups full of water should get that one in the air.

Great processing, Wendi, and a very novel photo to represent the challenge.

There's two manly passion meeting: interest on all kinds of machines and navigation with maps ;-)

And there are plenty of studies made on this. For example the followings:

On one study a group of monkeys that had been grown in wild, with no influence to Homo Sapiens, were shown two kinds of items: toy cars and human dolls. Mostly men monkeys started to examine toy cars, rolling the wheels etc. Female monkeys picked dolls and started to examine them.

Another study proves male brain structure differs from female. On male the nerves system has been oriented on signals going between forehead and back of the brains, and this may explain why men are, if not better, but more interested on navigation and finding locations. Female then have more signals going between the both sides of brains, which then explains the capability for multitasking.

Love the plane and the way you processed.

Really cool shot Wendi especially with that film frame you've added! :)

nice image, with a great vintage feel to it

Ah winter in the Yukon ... bush pilots, male or female are a hardy breed. Great image Wendi ... xx
