Aviation is a popular theme and thought I'd start a thread with a couple of images I made about twenty years ago. The F16 was 35mm Provia and the DC3 was 6x7 Velvia.
Both shoots were for clients. It's hard to beat a day like these.

Here's a shot of the Liberty Aviation Museum's 1928 Ford 5-AT-B Tri-Motor. Nothing like experiencing three radial engines, in-person. Shot on 35mm Fuji Velvia 50.
Stearman 350 factory 3 seater... c1998 in San Diego, CA. Shot on a 6x6 Rolleiflex and cropped... I generally prefer the 6x9 format... Shot on Kodak color print film, don't remember the type, probably portra VC...
Long time ago, I made these for a calendar on the theme 'Vol De Nuit' inspired by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's book from 1931, here you see only a few:
These were shot with Hasselblad (leaf shutter!) on FujiChrome 100F, using the technique "Nuit Americaine" (Night by day) With 3 Multiblitz flash generators of 3200J each, about 7 flash heads and a lot of sweat blood and tears...
Yes, about 3 or 4 stops, that's the advantage of the leaf shutter, the flash synchronize with all the shutter's speeds.
The aperture was around 11 and 16, the speed somewhere near 1/500 sec., the film 100ASA, and a ton of Polariöd film (it was before the age of digital).
Luckily I had powerful flashes, a Diesel power generator, and radio command.
As I had to wait for the 'right' clouds, I made 2 photos a day...
