A little heavy metal today. She looks terribly sharp with her new paint and was a wonderful surprise at this year's Thunder Over Michigan as she had not appeared on any list of attending aircraft. I was at the south end of the static area when I heard her call in and I hustled the 1.2 kms ( .8 miles) to the north end to get her as she taxied in.
Unless it is an aircraft that I have never photographed before I refuse to take pictures of aircraft with canopy covers on.
Lil Margaret was at TOM and I would have loved to get the nose art side of her but the pilot/ground crew arrived well after general admission was let in. The other thing I don't like in my plane pictures are people so I never did get a shot of the nose art as they buttoned her up real early as well. Not complaining....just saying.
